A while back I decided to try my hand at including " -flto" in my
C{XX}FLAGS and do `emerge -e @world`.  Needless to say, by the end of it my
"/etc/portage/package.env" was filled with a list of packages that had to
disable the flag either because it failed to build or broke other builds.
I never reported them as bugs because I always assumed the flag was unsafe
and unsupported by Gentoo.

Lately, I have been trying to fix some GCC-6 related bugs and have come
across some bug reports that seem possibly more "-flto" related than GCC-6
related.  Doing a search for "-flto", Gentoo bugtracker, a number of open
bugreports clearly show them to be "-flto" bugs in their titles.

Does Gentoo support the "-flto" flag and are "-flto" related bugreports
valid?
