Might I suggest the inverse?
GCC49 -> GCCNOLTO
GCC5 -> GCC
I feel disabling LTO should be seen as the nonstandard approach.
Regardless, we (including me) *should* have changed those names as
soon as we realised we didn't need a GCC51, and the misleading naming
still frequently causes confusion. So I don't think keeping the
current names should be considered an option.

Agreed. And *if* we find a need in the future to add a new archived
range, we can add that then.
