Probably introduced by the fix for bug 44385, given it happens in the same place and removing -fuse-linker-plugin "fixes" it again: With gcc 4.5.1 rev 160157, linking Qt's moc with -flto -fuse-linker-plugin results in
g++ -Wl,-rpath-link,/usr/src/ark/BUILD/qt/lib -m64 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fweb -frename-registers -Wl,-O2,-z,combreloc,-z,relro,--enable-new-dtags,--hash-style=gnu -g -flto -fuse-linker-plugin -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib64/qt4-embedded/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib64/qt4-embedded/lib -flto -fuse-linker-plugin -fwhole-program -o ../../../bin/moc release-static/moc.o release-static/preprocessor.o release-static/generator.o release-static/parser.o release-static/token.o release-static/main.o -L/usr/src/ark/BUILD/qt/src/tools/bootstrap -lbootstrap -lz lto1: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.
