The part in the Makefile would probably stay, but could reuse common flags from configure, e.g. something like this


    JVM_LDFLAGS_FEATURES += $(CXX_O_FLAG_HIGHEST_JVM) -flto=auto \
        -fuse-linker-plugin -fno-strict-aliasing
=>
    JVM_LDFLAGS_FEATURES += $(CXX_O_FLAG_HIGHEST_JVM) $(LDFLAGS_LTO)
