 -  Filtering the tools available from the host's ``PATH`` to only a specific set
    of tools, set using the :term:`HOSTTOOLS` variable.
 
+.. note::
+
+   Because of an open bug in GCC, using ``DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " lto"`` or
+   adding ``-flto`` (Link Time Optimization) to ``CFLAGS`` makes the resulting
+   binary non-reproducible, in that it depends on the full absolute build path
+   to ``recipe-sysroot-native``, so installing the Yocto Project in a different
+   directory results in a different binary.
+
+   This issue is addressed by
+   :yocto_bugs:`bug 14481 -  Programs built with -flto are not reproducible</show_bug.cgi?id=14481>`.

 Can we prove the project is reproducible?
