Hello.
I've got a patch candidate that leverages partial linking for a couple of
selected object files.
I'm sending make all-host- jX results for my machine:
before: 3m18s (user 32m52s)

One can utilize it with:
make -j16 all-host PARTIAL_LTO=1
@Segher, Andrew: Can you please measure time improvement for your slow
bootstrap?
One can also tweak --param=lto-partitions=16 param value.
Thoughts?
You're LTO linking multiple objects here - that's almost as if you
were doing this
for the whole of libbackend.a ... so $(OBJS)_CLFAGS += -flto and in the
libbackend.a rule do a similar partial link trick.
Yeah, apart from that one can't likely do partial linking for an archive:
$ g++ -no-pie -flto=auto --param=lto-partitions=16 -flinker-output=nolto-rel -r
libbackend.a
collect2: fatal error: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault], core
dumped
compilation terminated.
while ld.bfd immediately finishes.
That gets you half of a LTO bootstrap then.
So why did you go from applying this per-file to multiple files? Does $(LINKER)
have a proper rule to pick up a jobserver?
When upstreaming in any form you probably have to gate it on bootstrap-lto
being not active.
Sure, that's reasonable, we can likely detect a -flto option in $(COMPILE),
right?
One more thing I face is broken dependency:

I explicitly added:
gimple-match.o: gimple-match.c $(generated_files)
generic-match.o: generic-match.c $(generated_files)
But it's not obeyed.

Thanks,
