The `-fuse-linker-plugin` flag has been automatically enabled by GCC since version 5 when LTO is active, making the explicit flag redundant. Since Node.js requires GCC >= 13.2, this flag serves no purpose. Removing it also improves portability with alternative linkers (mold, lld) that may not support GCC's linker plugin interface, avoiding build failures when these linkers are used with GCC LTO builds.
