The -Walloca-larger-than, -Wformat-length, and -Wformat-truncation options do not mention LTO among the supported languages and so are disabled when -flto is used, causing false negatives.
The attached patch adds the missing LTO to the three options. This makes -Walloca-larger-than work with LTO but not the other two options, implying that something else is preventing the gimple-ssa- sprintf pass from running when -flto is enabled. I haven't had the cycles to look into what that might be yet. Since the root causes are independent I'd like to commit this patch first and deal with the -Wformat-{length,truncation} problem separately, under a new bug (or give someone with a better understanding of LTO the opportunity to do it). Thanks Martin
