If LTO is enabled with the wrong linker/ar:
- with the checks, it will exit at configure with an error. I can change
this in a warning and disabling LTO if preferred.
- without the checks compilation will fail
If LTO is enabled with the wrong compiler (e.g. old gcc), you may get a
bunch of warnings at compile time, and a binary that won't pass some of
the tests in make check.

Ok, no problem. I can definitely disable the check on GCC.
Paolo, would you like me to disable checks on AR/linker for lto too?
If so, should I add some of this information on a document, perhaps
docs/devel/lto.rst, so it is written somewhere for future uses?
I am not sure of the effects. Does it simply effectively disable LTO or
is it something worse?
I'll look into the SCSI issue.
