             Bug #: 50345
           Summary: Incomplete GCC Internals sentence on LTO
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: other
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: Paulo.Matos@csr.com


In the GCC Internals manual, LTO chapter
(http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/LTO.html) there's the sentence (2nd
paragraph):

"A, perhaps surprising, side effect of this feature is that any mistake in the
toolchain that leads to LTO information not being used (e.g. an older libtool
calling ld directly)."

I have a feeling that the mentioned 'surprising side effect' is never actually
explained.
