The preferred way to use LTO is --enable-lto but often times packagers
still end up with -flto in cflags for various reasons. Using grep
on binary object files is brittle and relies on specific object
representation, which in the case of LLVM bitcode, debug-info or other
intermediary formats can fail silently.
This patch changes the check to a more commonly used define for
big-endian systems. More checks may need to be added in the future to
cover legacy machines.
