Note that you need to make certain use of the PMF for the problem to trigger. 
It's not always the case that all LTO builds will cause problems.

Also note that the above should not compile. Qt has a check in qglobal.h 
against use of -fPIE and will #error out, asking you to use -fPIC. It's this 
exact issue that it's protecting against.
