What we perhaps could try (but not sure how far we could get) if we detect in an installed *.a or *.o GCC LTO bytecode, instead of erroring out and failing the build try to convert it to normal *.o file (for *.a recursively for each *.o file in there with LTO bytecode) - at least if debug info is emitted and there is DW_AT_producer, try to reconstruct gcc command line and gcc -r that_perhaps_slightly_massaged_command_line -o new.o old.o Or if we recorded all command line options we care about into LTO bytecode (Optimization/Target options are recorded already on a per-function basis but I'm worried about others), just have a gcc driver mode that turns a non-fat LTO object into normal non-LTO object.
