[build] Inhibit .eh_frame on newer gcc versions

Using -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm is not sufficient to prevent the .eh_frame section from being generated on newer versions of gcc. Add -fno-exceptions -fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables; this is sufficient to inhibit the .eh_frame section on gcc 4.7.1. This does not affect the overall binary size, but does fix the numbers reported by "size" for individual object files. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
