        PR lto/48086
        * configure.ac: Disable LTO on darwin due to an assembler change in
        Xcode 3.2.6/4.0 that limits the total number of sections/segments to
        under 256.
        * configure: Regenerate.

Modified:
    trunk/ChangeLog
    trunk/configure
    trunk/configure.ac

due to the mishandling of <rdar://problem/7920267>, possible assembler bug
exposed by LTO, by the Apple assembler developer where a solid 255 limit has
been now imposed on all the sections= possible in a mach-o object file. This
breaks the current implementation in gcc/lto/lto-object.c which relied on the
ability to have an unlimited number of symbol-less GNU_LTO sections at the end
of the object file.
   The darwin LTO support in  gcc/lto/lto-object.c  and gcc/config/darwin.c
needs to be written to containerize all of these GNU_LTO sections into a single
mach-o section. Hopefully this can be done without having to resort to an elf
container, which would introduce an undesired dependency on libelf for FSF gcc
on darwin.
