Comment (by birdie):
Nope, never.
From what I've read and understood -flto is a safe [optimization] option
even though it might give you zero gains in regard to performance which is
why I prefer to enable it by default. Also I've indeed tested other pieces
of software and usually -flto nets a small performance boost.
Of course, if you're a developer you'd want to disable it because it makes
building significantly slower (and million times slower if you e.g. alter
just one source file).
