This is an area that needs some improvement :-(
What I do is pass -Wl,-debug to gcc. That will make collect2 print the
call to ld. Add a -plugin-opt=-debug to it and it should print the
call to lto-wrapper.

That is correct. This is to avoid command lines that are too large. We
currently delete those files during the plugin cleanup. I will send a
patch disabling cleanup if -debug is given.

Given the lto-wrapper line above, add -debug to it and it will print
the lto1 invocation.
