No, LTO is in fact not very OS specific at all. Just because your favorite platform isn't supported, does not mean that something in GCC is linux-specific. LTO works on all targets with ELF binaries, and patches exist to make it work with COFF binaries too. You could add MACH-O support, it shouldn't be very difficult to do if you can follow Dave's example. But instead you go to LLVM, which is, bottom line, not a solution for GCC -- and that's what this thread is all about to me. Ciao! Steven
