Try rebuilding without LTO. rust-1.60 emits LLVM 14 bytecode that LLD
from llvm13 may not understand. firefox cannot switch to llvm14 yet
due to missing wasi-compiler-rt14. In the past firefox build usually
broke due to LLVM mismatch, so quickly noticed during exp-run.

Note, this was briefly discussed in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D34823
Note2, /quarterly (2022Q2) is NOT affected because it still has rust-1.59.
