I guess the answer to module level vs function level depends on whether it is valid to link together files compiled with different values of these flags and if so what the expected behavior should be. How does this work on non-LTO? If it works just fine, i.e. the functions from the modules with one value are compiled ok with that value and linked with functions compiled effectively with another value, then that would point to a function attribute so you can mimic the mix-and-match behavior. If it is unexpected, then perhaps better to keep as a module flag but Error? With Warning, the value from the first module being linked is used - would that be surprising?

Good point; it won't work as intended on mismatch. Let me upgrade that to Error.
