coreboot: remove Werror everywhere

NOTE; don't need to patch xgcc, because coreboot
passes --disable-werror already, on all versions
of coreboot.

this patch should now make builds more reliable,
reducing the chance that newer linux distros and
toolchains will break lbmk in the future.

(testing needed on archlinux as always)
