With LTO the build of media-libs/avidemux-core-2.7.0 fails when linking the libraries of the bundled ffmpeg. Here are the errors from the build log:

These errors are due to using direct symbol references in inline asm (which are not visible to the compiler). Disabling those direct symbol refs in the bundled ffmpeg's configure fixes the build. The attached patch accomplishes this by creating a patch which is applied by avidemux-core's build system to the bundled ffmpeg sources.

Can't reproduce this with media-libs/avidemux-core-2.8.1-r1 and gcc (Gentoo 13.1.1_p20230527 p3) 13.1.1 20230527
