+- Avoid text relocation on i386 (bsc#1143125)
+
+  Text relocation doesn't cope well with some security hardening which
+  consists in prohibiting attempts to change memory mappings to become
+  executable.
+
+  Hence disable the use of assembler code and get rid of text
+  relocations especially since the assembler code is slower than the
+  code generated by gcc according to Fedora. According to Debian this
+  also fixes gzip generating different results on ia64.
