Enabling link time optimization is a common enough need and
there's a simple fix that I think makes Emacs a bit clearer,
so I pushed the following patch to the trunk as bzr 111533
and I'm marking this as done.

The original problem feels like it might be a GCC problem --
GCC shouldn't be dumber (and presumably generate worse code)
merely because link-time optimization is enabled.  Do you
have the time to file a GCC bug report?
