Can you provide a pointer to that paper?

In spite of how I may sound, I'm actually a big fan of link-time code
generation. But when link-time code generation is combined with dynamic
libraries, you've crossed the line into runtime code generation. This places
a significant burden on the target environment, and a significant burden of
complexity (therefore assurance) on the runtime environment.

It's the burden of runtime assurance that mainly concerns me here.
