Using gcc-7.2.0 and alsa-lib-1.1.5
Is there a way to compile alsa-lib with lto (the method below works with alsa-plugins and alsa-utils)?
Compiling alsa-lib like this works fine:
CC="gcc -mtune=generic -Os -pipe" CXX="g++ -mtune=generic -Os -pipe -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-static --localstatedir=/var --with-configdir=/usr/local/etc/alsa
..but compiling with lto like this fails as per below:
CC=" gcc -flto -fuse-linker-plugin -mtune=generic -Os -pipe" CXX="g++ -flto -fuse-linker-plugin -mtune=generic -Os -pipe -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-static --localstatedir=/var --with-configdir=/usr/local/etc/alsa

That's interesting. These are basically fallouts of the internal function calls, and they should have been called with INTERNAL() wrapper for covering the versioned symbols.
I fixed the latest git tree, but still something doesn't work with linkage in aserver. I guess Makefile.am in aserver needs to be fixed somehow, but I leave it as is for now, as you can work around it by disabling via the configure option.
thanks,
