x86: Use -maccumulate-outgoing-args for sane mcount prologues 



commit 746357d6 (x86: Prevent GCC 4.4.x (pentium-mmx et al) function
prologue wreckage) uses -mtune=generic to work around the function
prologue problem with mcount on -march=pentium-mmx and others.

Jakub pointed out that we can use -maccumulate-outgoing-args instead
which is selected by -mtune=generic and prevents the problem without
losing the -march specific optimizations.
