-f*-prefix-map flags are required when linking with LTO enabled to make

/usr/sbin/lspci from pciutils is a good program to test that shows how
adding -f*-prefix-map to LDFLAGS makes a program binary reproducible
with LTO enabled.

This failed in testing in ruby:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/115/builds/514

The error is a bit obtuse but in summary, the file:

/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/ruby/3.0.2-r0/sysroot-destdir/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ruby-3.0.pc

contained build paths as it adds LDFLAGS to the file with a line like:

DLDFLAGS=-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,--as-needed -fmacro-prefix-map=/home/pokybuild/yocto-worker/reproducible-centos/build/build-st/reproducibleA/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/ruby/3.0.2-r0=/usr/src/debug/ruby/3.0.2-r0 -fdebug-prefix-map=/home/pokybuild/yocto-worker/reproducible-centos/build/build-st/reproducibleA/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/ruby/3.0.2-r0=/usr/src/debug/ruby/3.0.2-r0 -fdebug-prefix-map=/home/pokybuild/yocto-worker/reproducible-centos/build/build-st/reproducibleA/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/ruby/3.0.2-r0/recipe-sysroot= -fdebug-prefix-map=/home/pokybuild/yocto-worker/reproducible-centos/build/build-st/reproducibleA/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/ruby/3.0.2-r0/recipe-sysroot-native= -Wl,-z,relro,-z,now -Wl,--compress-debug-sections=zlib
