Warnings when building with LTO

[Alex Gramiak]

Also, with OpenSUSE looking to enable LTO by default[1], it would be
nice to reevaluate LTO's role in Emacs release builds, at least for
modern compilers.

INSTALL states:

  Link time optimization is not the default as it tends to cause crashes
  and to make Emacs slower.


Is this still true with GCC 9.1? Paul, can you still reproduce the
bug[2] you mentioned in commit 9b4b2e9fc8 with GCC 9.1?
