This is my little world of guides before being merged into the main wiki pages to help the next person not have to struggle to get the solution they need.
My plans are to get a 486 laptop, Itanium and SPARC system to add to my collection of hardware so I can test for issues in Gentoo and try to offer solutions, however until then I have PowerPC and MIPS to keep me busy.
If you see an issue in any page then feel free to correct or ask for help in the Discussion page.

LTO notes
Below is a collection of issues and my solutions for using LTO and GCC with Gentoo on the main tree. Feel free to add to this.
/etc/portage/make.conf
Fixes for LTO and GentooGRAPHITE="-fgraphite-identity -floop-nest-optimize"
COMMON_FLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe ${GRAPHITE} -flto"
USE="pgo lto graphite"
These are the only cflags which get shared around the Internet that I've found don't cause user many paper cuts or have negative effects on performance , Noting that graphite shows little improvement but doesn't seem to cause any negative ones either.
LLVM/CLANG
Letting GCC compile LLVM and CLANG with -flto
causes an ICE (Internal Compiler Error) in some builds using that clang binary so, it's recommend to disable compiling with LTO now until this is fixed upstream. See bug #873670
Crossdev
LTO can cause issues with your cross compiler so I recommend adding 'cross-*/* nolto.conf' in your package.env.
