Compile Hostboot with -Os
Hostboot currently spends a significant percentage of time loading data from PNOR across a relatively slow LPC bus. This commit enables compilation of Hostboot with -Os, optimized for space to reduce the amount of data required to be transferred across the LPC bus Rough measurements show a ~30% size reduction of the hostboot image and a ~10% reduction (improvement) in boot time Change-Id: Ib140e6f07b112ae95a901f49b75416ef91c94a9d Reviewed-on: http://rchgit01.rchland.ibm.com/gerrit1/79059 Reviewed-by: Nicholas E Bofferding <bofferdn@us.ibm.com> Tested-by: Jenkins Server <pfd-jenkins+hostboot@us.ibm.com> Tested-by: FSP CI Jenkins <fsp-CI-jenkins+hostboot@us.ibm.com> Tested-by: Jenkins OP Build CI <op-jenkins+hostboot@us.ibm.com> Tested-by: Jenkins OP HW <op-hw-jenkins+hostboot@us.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Zachary Clark <zach@ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Michael Baiocchi <mbaiocch@us.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: William G Hoffa <wghoffa@us.ibm.com>
