This option is similar to @code{bootstrap-lto}, but is intended for
-hosts that do not support the linker plugin. Please note that static
-libraries are not compiled with link time optimizations without
-linker plugin. Since GCC middle-end and back-end are in libbackend.a,
-it means that only part of the frontend is actually LTO optimized.
