x86, powerpc: Remove -funit-at-a-time compiler option entirely

GCC 4.6 manual says:

  -funit-at-a-time
    This option is left for compatibility reasons. -funit-at-a-time has
    no effect, while -fno-unit-at-a-time implies -fno-toplevel-reorder
    and -fno-section-anchors. Enabled by default.

Remove it.
