Hello,

What is the reason behind having LTO require a non-static toolchain?
Is this a work around for some bug within binutils/gcc? Or is this
something that should not work in theory?

commit 45512b003d04b5a89c5c3bb6b674683d82b87f42

    Have LTO depend-on non-static builds

    Loading a dynamic library (LTO plugin) from a static binary fails
    on ArchLinux. It is also prone to break if a system is ever upgraded.

    Also, disable plugins if not enabled explicitly.
