Aah, thanks.  So when $skip_lto is expanded in the ifs, the whole thing
is evaluated, and that's why it works anyway?

My initial focus was on relieving the pain by removing the symptoms, so
I can then work on the improvements with lower urgency.


Here's what I'd like to check in for now:

[PR95416] outputs.exp: skip lto tests when not using linker plugin

From: Alexandre Oliva <ol...@adacore.com>

When the linker plugin is not available, dump outputs in lto runs are
different from those outputs.exp tests expect, so skip them for now.

Regstrapped on x86_64-linux-gnu.  Ok to install?


for  gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog

        * outputs.exp (skip_lto): Set when missing the linker plugin.
