LFS has always assumed, pretty safely I might add, that upstream developers know what optimizations or package-specific options are safe/suitable for the majority of users. This is particularly the case with the toolchain. I personally wouldn't be comfortable with this going into LFS until upstream think that it's the right thing to have on by default. At the moment, it doesn't even appear to be in binutils-2.17 (not in --help output or ld(1) or in the output of a recursive grep). Maybe it's just in HJL's binutils?
