    x86/boot: fix build with certain older gcc versions
    
    Despite all attempts so far (ending in commit fecf584294 ["Config.mk:
    fix comment for debug option"] adjusting the respective comment),
    Config.mk's debug= setting still affects the hypervisor build: CFLAGS
    gets -g added there.
    
    xen/arch/x86/boot/build32.mk includes that file, and hence inherits the
    setting too. Some gcc versions take -g to create an .eh_frame section
    despite -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables (which instead one would expect
    to produce .debug_frame).
    
    In turn, commit 93c0c0287a ("x86/boot: create *.lnk files with linker
    script") was - in my understanding - supposed to make sure .text is
    first, but apparently it did also not really achieve that effect: Both
    reloc.lnk and reloc.bin in the case here ended up with .eh_frame first,
    which obviously rendered the whole final binary unusable.
    
    Explicitly suppress generation of any kind of debug info when building
    reloc.o.
