In https://bugs.gentoo.org/566282 , the ebuilds for media-video/ffmpeg were amended to support LTO. Unfortunately, they do not respect the -fno-lto flag, particularly if your CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS contain "-flto -fno-lto" -- it will build with "--enable-lto" regardless. A comment on that bug report suggested a fix: https://bugs.gentoo.org/566282#c6 I have tested this fix on my own overlay and it appears to work as intended. I can submit patches to fix the ebuilds using this if desired. Thank you for your time, Shane Peelar
