chelper: Set compiler flags to never use "x387" floating point math

The default on X86 32bit machines is to use 80bit floating point math
(as found in the ancient "387 coprocessor").  This can cause numerical
stability problems.  Set the compiler flags to make sure the newer SSE
math is always used on X86.
