Further to the suggestion to discuss the status of LTO support in Gentoo |
| 6 |
(sorry about not replying to that message directly, turns our I must |
| 7 |
have already deleted it), something to keep in mind while comparing |
| 8 |
ourselves to binary distros which already enable LTO: whereas in their |
| 9 |
respective cases the build hosts can if needed be configured in highly |
| 10 |
specific fashion (i.e. with some tools built without LTO in order to |
| 11 |
work around quirks in compilation procedures of other packages, while |
| 12 |
still using LTO to build general-availability packages of the same |
| 13 |
tools), in case of source distributions like Gentoo the build and the |
| 14 |
runtime environment are by definition one and the same. Therefore, LTO |
| 15 |
might still well be dangerous for us even if it no longer is for them. |
