Subject: lto.inc: introduce LTO_DEFAULT variable to support per-package overrides with Clang
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cc90f8c3b9aaa25307959a091076b78cd58ea142;p=thirdparty%2Fopenembedded%2Fopenembedded-core-contrib.git

lto.inc: introduce LTO_DEFAULT variable to support per-package overrides with Clang

Currently, LTO variable is set with a toolchain-clang override directly.

This causes priority issues where package-specific overrides (e.g., LTO:pn-perl = "")
are ignored when the Clang toolchain is active, making it difficult to disable LTO
for specific failing recipes.

This patch refactors the logic by introducing an intermediate `LTO_DEFAULT` variable.
- `LTO_DEFAULT` handles the toolchain-specific flags (GCC vs Clang).
- `LTO` is assigned `LTO_DEFAULT` as a default value.

This structure allows `LTO` to be cleanly overridden by recipe-specific overrides
(like `pn-${PN}`) regardless of the active toolchain.

Added a toolchain-gcc override for alsa-lib because -flto-partition=none is not
supported by Clang.
