Could someone please double check what I did at:

For some reason LTO produces a FTBFS.
Some more details at:

I don't think that LTO really works on ia64. The toolchain has been bitrotting
on
this architecture for a while now and it's slated to be dropped from the kernel
for v6.7.
That's certainly new news after returning from vacation, so a few
questions come to my mind:
* When was this decided and who decided it?
We're certainly going to remove ia64 from Debian Ports within the next two
months.
* Same here, specifically who is "We"?
* And if that is already decided, why investing time in fixing ia64
problems in GRUB? Seems to be a perfect waste of time if "We"'re going
to remove it anyhow "within the next two months"...
So I wouldn't bother.
Adrian
