mariadb.spec:
  https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mariadb/blob/rawhide/f/mariadb.spec#_799
currently disables LTO, with this message in %build:
    # This package has static probe points which do not currently
    # work with LTO and result in undefined symbols at link time.
    # This is being worked on in upstream GCC
    %define _lto_cflags %{nil}

This was added to Fedora's mariadb.spec by Jeff Law on 2020-08-05 in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mariadb/c/cdfc0ff97706d24ab636f0962a205bfba93d6771 (3:10.4.13-6)

Although the message says "This is being worked on in upstream GCC", I work on upstream GCC and I wasn't able to find a bug report about this in the upstream tracker (Jeff is no longer at Red Hat).

It would be good to re-enable LTO for mariadb in Fedora, CentOS stream, and RHEL 9, so that it can benefit from LTO (smaller/faster binaries, deeper analysis for compiler warnings, etc).  

Please try removing the
   %global _lto_cflags %{nil}
from the specfile.

If you still run into issues, please let me know via this bug so that the toolchain team can fix things appropriately.

Thanks!

The LTO for MariaDB currently seems broken:
  https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-25633

Though, we should verify whether Fedora build would suffer of the same issue as the Debian build described in the upstream issue.

I made a successful scratch build with LTO enabled and I haven't encountered the error described in the upstream JIRA issue mentioned in the comment 1 during a swift testing of the core replication functionality.

I will take a closer look at it in Fedora.
