[arch-dev-public] Fun with LTO and stripping

With the latest devtools, LTO is enabled by default. This causes an issue with .a and .o archived when stripping. Look out for output like: strip: ./usr/lib/st4RPjCb/libsyslog_ng_native_connector_a-native-grammar.o: plugin needed to handle lto object That file is now nicely mangled! Turns out this is a very well known issue in other distros, and has not been fixed in binutils since reported in 2017. There are a couple of workarounds: 1) disable LTO for that package 2) add -ffat-lto-objects to the C{,XX}FLAGS for those packages I can see how to fix this in makepkg, but that will take a few days to push out. In the meantime, pay attention to your build output! Cheers, Allan
