issue28032: never imply --with-lto as part of --with-optimizations.
Too many build tool chains do not properly support it, including building and linking an executable fine that simply segfaults when you try to run it (such as debian jessie 8.5's gcc 4.9). On others where it does appear to build (ubuntu 16.04's gcc 5.4) there are still test_distutils and test_gdb failures to deal with. We're not going to spend time attempting to maintain a complicated white list of what does and doesn't work in our configure.ac file.
