Applied LTO default option as well as it indeed should be rather easy to 
spot and especially easy to disable via a simple !lto option.

devtools released as 20211129-1 and currently sitting in [staging] so we 
have a package ready purely for toying around. It will be moved to 
[testing] once the python 3.10 rebuild is finished to avoid interfering 
with an already cumbersome huge rebuild (there are rebuilder hosts that 
have testing enabled and we don't want them to pick up the new flags yet).

Yes, the idea is to get some testing for a limited amount of time via 
[testing] and once moved start a huge rebuild.

cheers,
