static-link-time-optimization

The named member of the static library ships ELF sections that indicate the use of link-time-optimization (LTO). The use of LTO in static objects is usually a bug.

In the milder case, the library will work but is larger than needed. The more serious case is indicated by the distinct tag no-code-sections. Those libraries cannot work in Debian.

An object file shown here was usually built with the command-line option -flto=auto.
