GCC LTO breaks color management in Plasma 6.3.0

Hello,
We've received a number of complaints from Plasma Wayland users about
screen turning black when using an ICC profile (which contains a BToA
tag) and the new "Prefer color accuracy" setting. [1]
The issue is reproducible only when kwin is built with GCC + LTO. If
kwin is built in the debug mode or the release mode but without LTO, the
issue is not reproducible. The issue is also not reproducible when using
clang + LTO.
It might be worth to disable LTO when building kwin 6.3.0.
Regards,
Vlad
