[slurm-users] Problems building RPMs

[Kilian Cavalotti]

Hi Phil,

Link-time optimization (LTO) has been enabled by default in RHEL9:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LTOByDefault
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html-single/developing_c_and_cpp_applications_in_rhel_9/index#ref_link-time-optimization_using-libraries-with-gcc

The issue has been reported to SchedMD already (see
https://bugs.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14565).
The current workaround is to disable LTO in the SPEC file (see the bug
report for details).

Cheers,
