maybe we should create an outstanding issue that tracks the upstream rust issue. So we can keep track of when this sensitivity goes away. |

Description
Adds
docs/troubleshooting.mddocumenting a known fat LTO miscompilation that causeszkvm::lookup_table::equal::test::prefix_suffixto fail under--release. This class of issue is tracked upstream in rust-lang/rust#116941.What's covered
lto = "thin"(the default), or useRUSTFLAGS="-C no-prepopulate-passes"if fat LTO is required.lto = "fat"— triggers the miscompile (prefix_suffixassertion failure).lto = "thin"— recommended, all tests pass.lto = "fat"+-C no-prepopulate-passes— avoids the miscompile but may increase trace lengths, causingadvice_e2e_doryto fail unlessmax_trace_lengthis bumped (e.g.1 << 16→1 << 17).
