Re: enabling link time optimizations in package builds

Hi Matthias, * Matthias Klose [2022-06-17 10:18]: The proposal is to turn on LTO by default on most 64bit release architectures. Not proposing to do this on 32bit architectures because of the limited address space at link time, and up to now nobody tested LTO on 32bit archs. In test

enabling link time optimizations in package builds

Link time optimizations are an optimization that helps with a single digit percent number optimizing both for smaller size, and better speed. These optimizations are available for some time now in GCC. Link time optimizations are also at least turned on in other distros like Fedora, OpenSuse
