I'd like to kick off a discussion whether LTO should be considered "supported". With that I essentially mean that bugs involving LTO should be considered valid, and fixes (be it only stripping -flto from flags, or similar solutions) should be committed to the tree. |

I would like to clarify this before possibly suggesting an initiative to make the Gentoo repository LTO-safe (similar to what we did years ago with --as-needed). |

Background is, just about every binary distribution out there builds with LTO by default now. It's not so great if we then keep telling people "LTO is dangerous". |

(Yes I'm aware of the LTO overlay. It may be a great source.) |
