+Configuring with a recent gcc and link-time-optimization, such as
+C<Configure -Doptimize='-O2 -flto'> fails
+because the optimizer optimizes away some of Configure's tests. A
+workaround is to omit the C<-flto> flag when running Configure, but add
+it back in while actually building, something like
+
+ sh Configure -Doptimize=-O2
+ make OPTIMIZE='-O2 -flto'
