Some hardened gcc v9 compilers (such as the one in Ubuntu) default this option which for seabios leads to emulation errors when running in KVM (does not trigger in TCG) on older intel chips of the Penryn generation (~2006-2008).
The symptom appears as endbr32/endbr64 interpretation failures and in KVM it looks like: KVM internal error.
