Yes. Non-ELF targets only via converting from ELF to some other format after linking (like uClinux targets using FLT, or arm-symbianelf, do right now with a separate converter not included in binutils). (Unlike gold, nothing in the design of LTO strongly links it to ELF; it uses ELF as a container for bytecode streams but should be adaptable to be able to use other formats - that allow arbitrary user-defined sections - as well if someone wishes to do so, and all that should be needed is a replacement of lto-elf.c for the other format or a generic version of it using BFD.) -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40790
