-Subject: configure.ac: Add a --disable-lto configure option
-
-Link-Time Optimization seems to be stable enough with gcc 4.8 and 4.9,
-but has proven to be an issue in the past for many cairo users (webkit,
-efl, ubuntu, opensuse, gentoo, arch...) who carry patches to disable it.
-
-Gentoo's patch[1] adds a --disable-lto option to leave it enabled by
-default but give users the ability to work around lto related build
-problems (c.f. fdo #77060).  Patch appears to have been authored by
-Alexandre Rostovtsev[2].
