--- Comment #3 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
LTO doesn't know about linker scripts and their effects (see other related
bugreports).  For your case LTO partitioning might simply tear boot.o and
early.o
apart and put parts in differen LTRANS units.

I don't see any way to fix this but to teach WPA to parse linker scripts and
guide partitioning.

That means basically a WONTFIX with the known workaround to compile boot.o and
early.o without -flto.

Another workaround that might work is to use -flto-partition=1to1 (but the
filenames will still get wrong I think).
