Yes LTO doesn't support different options for different files, and combines
some of them (which happens in your case) and ignores some others.

You could use tag the functions in the different file with 

__attribute__(target("..."))

This will also allow automatic switching.

Arguably gcc should do this automatically for LTO, but unfortunately it doesn't

Or alternatively don't compile the file that needs the changed options with LTO

Unfortunately, gcc does not allow using SIMD intrinsics if not enabled by
compiler switches, so leaving the compiler options for a generic target CPU
wouldn't work. At least that is the case with gcc 4.8.

Yes, I'm currently not using LTO in my real world project that exhibits this
problem. But users of my project would like to enable LTO, and currently this
silently produces incorrect binaries. The purpose of this ticket is to indicate
the problem and suggest a possible solution (automatically marking each
function in every translation unit with the target options).

This has been fixed in 4.9

Known issue (there are duplicate bugs for this AFAIK).
