Bobby R. Bruce 6a54bb7242 scons: Revert LTO and partial linking for gcc >=8.1
This reverts commit f41abbdb5c,
"scons: Enable LTO and partial linking with gcc >= 8.1."

LTO and partial linking does not work on GCC 9.3 on Ubuntu 20.04 when
compiling gem5.fast. This error was exposed via the following command:

```
docker run -u $UID:$GID --volume $(pwd):/gem5 -w /gem5 --rm \
gcr.io/gem5-test/ubuntu-20.04_all-dependencies:latest scons \
build/MIPS/gem5.fast
```

The following error was received:

```
usr/bin/ld: cannot find lib.fo.partial.lto.o: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: error: could not unlink output file
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
scons: *** [build/MIPS/mem/ruby/system/lib.fo.partial] Error 1
```

This is the gem5 simulator.

The main website can be found at http://www.gem5.org

A good starting point is http://www.gem5.org/about, and for
more information about building the simulator and getting started
please see http://www.gem5.org/documentation and
http://www.gem5.org/documentation/learning_gem5/introduction.

To build gem5, you will need the following software: g++ or clang,
Python (gem5 links in the Python interpreter), SCons, SWIG, zlib, m4,
and lastly protobuf if you want trace capture and playback
support. Please see http://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/building
for more details concerning the minimum versions of the aforementioned tools.

Once you have all dependencies resolved, type 'scons
build/<ARCH>/gem5.opt' where ARCH is one of ARM, NULL, MIPS, POWER, SPARC,
or X86. This will build an optimized version of the gem5 binary (gem5.opt)
for the the specified architecture. See
http://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/building for more details and
options.

The basic source release includes these subdirectories:
   - configs: example simulation configuration scripts
   - ext: less-common external packages needed to build gem5
   - src: source code of the gem5 simulator
   - system: source for some optional system software for simulated systems
   - tests: regression tests
   - util: useful utility programs and files

To run full-system simulations, you will need compiled system firmware
(console and PALcode for Alpha), kernel binaries and one or more disk
images.

If you have questions, please send mail to gem5-users@gem5.org

Enjoy using gem5 and please share your modifications and extensions.
