It unconditionally enables Link-Time-Optimization if the compiler claims to support it. It is not always safe and for sure a rather pushy default for everyday software. Cairo upstream removed this: http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2014-July/025374.html The patch originally seems to come from the general direction of Gentoo GNU/Linux. I had troubles even with freshly installed binutils-2.24 and gcc-4.9.1, though I have to wonder now if pkgsrc fooled me by reverting to the system default binutils stuff for linking instead of the one in $PATH. I have to check that closely, as I figured that i need to install the toolchain together in one piece (as gcc build supports it) to avoid funny situations like the compiler generating flashy instructions the assembler cannot understand. I have my reasons to have the toolchain (gcc+binutils, among other compilers) available indepently of pkgsrc.
