Will that speed up the building process also?

Subject: [Kicad-developers] [MacOS] compiling with link-time optimization

Hi,

I've submitted a branch for inclusion at

https://code.launchpad.net/~sjr/kicad/lto

that seeks to use link-time optimization when possible.

We've already established that this is broken on MSYS, so I'm going to
disable it there, while it does some good on Linux. This leaves MacOS.

Could anyone try building a Release configuration both with and without
this branch, and check that a) the build still works, and b) we get a
significant reduction in size?

Thanks,
   Simon
