Rodriguez" The setup for LTO never made it upstream, and although this has some users, this is now really old stuff for a gcc 4.7 LTO problem. We know that at least LTO_REFERENCE_INITCALL() work around can be removed if LTO is not supported on v4.7 anymore. As per Andi the DISABLE_LTO and LTO_CFLAGS are still neeeded though. v3: added to this series, removing LTO_REFERENCE_INITCALL() justifies that other future similar macros do not need a respective LTO_REFERENCE_INITCALL() on them therefore simplifying new code.
