Subject: [PATCH] x86: set fpmath to 387 to avoid gcc warnings

From: Dragos Tatulea <dragos.tatulea@...el.com>

If gcc has a different default fpmath set (e.g. sse),
many unuseful warnings will be spewed when compiling on an
architecture that doesn't support it.

An example would be Google's Android 4.1 x86 toochain which
is compiled with -mfpmath=sse.

This can affect out of tree modules that compile with
-Werror (ex: systemtap stp scripts).
