This just never worked too well and caused too many issues. I don't think anyone
will miss this.
As mentioned in the below bug report, proper LTO support also requires using
special versions of ranlib, nm and ar which support the LTO object files.
Otherwise, calling the normal ranlib on an .a library breaks the list of
exported symbols and thus completely breaks the static library.
This (partly) reverts the following commits:
c3645d97eb configure.ac: Add a --disable-lto configure option
d486ea30f1 configure: Conditionally include -flto
0870c6fb5b gcc-4.5 warnings and optimisation flags.
(The last commit is the one which brought us -flto in the first place even
though it doesn't talk about this. It's also the one which is only reverted
partly.)
