Try builder.create(tm).

selectTarget() returns a new object, so setting options on that has no 
effect on the ExecutionEngine which is built by the create() call.
In fact, EngineBuilder.create() just creates passes a newly created 
TargetMachine:

It actually dumps it several times during code emission, after running 
different passes on it. Code emission happens on the first call to the 
functions, thus lazily (or just in time).
