Hi!

> - does not work on any Linux install

Well, it works for me, and decreses the file size by a few megs. (gcc 4.9.2)

I'd suggest integrating this as optional feature, like -DLTO=yes. There is a lot
of work being done on lto support, and will get better in the future. 

It is annoying if you want to compile project with LTO (because, say, you're
working on a compiler and want to test new stuff), and the project can't easily
be compile that way. I know, since I'm doing this (with firefox) and I do need
to have some more wrappers to do it.

Here are the results:
