This adjusts the build flags for all platforms using gcc, for gcc 4.4 and
above, which is overbroad.

Could you test adding this as a patch to the ARMGCC build flags instead?

Title:
  qemu-efi: hangs in kvm mode when built w/ gcc-5

Status in edk2 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in gcc-5 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I rebuild edk2_0~20150106.5c2d456b-1build1 in wily or sid, KVM-
  accelerated arm64 VMs hang before displaying any console output. I
  bisected this down to a change in gcc (see below).

  Note that this does not impact fully emulated instances. That is, if I
  drop '-enable-kvm' and change '-cpu host' to '-cpu cortex-a57', it
  boots fine.

  Here's the gcc changeset that introduced the issue:
