how to work around "plugin needed to handle lto object"

[Prathamesh Kulkarni]

Hi,
I am having issues building GNU toolchain with LTO support.
When I compile a "hello world" file with gcc,
gcc -O2 -c hello.c -flto
nm hello.o gives the following warning:
plugin needed to handle lto object
How do I work around this problem ?
using -fuse-linker-plugin didn't help either.

gcc -dumpspecs has following entries:
 %(linker) %{!fno-use-linker-plugin:%{!fno-lto:     -plugin
%(linker_plugin_file)     -plugin-opt=%(lto_wrapper)
-plugin-opt=-fresolution=%u.res
%{!nostdlib:%{!nodefaultlibs:%:pass-through-libs(%(link_gcc_c_sequence))}}
    }}%{flto|flto=*:%<fcompare-debug*}     %{flto} %{fno-lto}
%{flto=*} %l %{no-pie:}

I did the following to build toolchain:
a) configured binutils-2.25 with --enable-gold --enable-lto
--enable-plugins --prefix=$INSTALL
b) configured gcc trunk with --with-plugin-ld=$INSTALL/bin/ld.bfd
--prefix=$INSTALL --enable-languages=c,c++,lto

I currently use the wrappers for nm/ar/ranlib mentioned in following
