Something like that, or somehow disable LTO plugins when building gcc, or at
least warning about it.

I think this option mirrors what we have in the base system, where for
apparently historical reasons, most toolchain components (cc, ld, etc) are
built statically. Most likely, the idea was to be able to get yourself out of
certain situations where the system is messed up, and then being able to
rebuild it.

It was added in ports r434650 by bdrewery, maybe he remembers what it was meant
for?
