.. note::
Because of an open bug in GCC, using ``DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " lto"`` or
adding ``-flto`` (Link Time Optimization) to ``CFLAGS`` makes the resulting
binary non-reproducible, in that it depends on the full absolute build path
to ``recipe-sysroot-native``, so installing the Yocto Project in a different
directory results in a different binary.
This issue is addressed by
:yocto_bugs:`bug 14481 - Programs built with -flto are not reproducible</show_bug.cgi?id=14481>`.
