The '-malign-*' flags might get the kernel to run faster, so I've included
them in this new patch. I've also switched from '-m?86' to '-march=i?86'
to get processor-specific optimizations/instructions. The third new thing
is that I've removed the '-fno-strength-reduce' flag for the newer
compilers (the strength-reduce bug has been fixed.)
