Fix build with gcc 4.9 cairo fails to build with gcc 4.9 due to a bad interaction of cairo modules with the LTO mechanism. The suggested workaround is to pass -ffat-lto-objects. See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77060 for the upstream bug report, and https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40313?project=1&openedfrom=-1+week for the ArchLinux bug report. This patch passes -ffat-lto-objects when gcc understands this option, in order to provide compatibility with gcc versions older than 4.8, which did not provide this option, but are anyway unaffected by the issue.
