Linker plugin LTO

[In-line]

Rust currently supports linker plugin LTO (aka cross language optimization, aka link time optimization).

It would be interesting to see impact of this in the context of OpenSSL. Basically compiling OpenSSL with clang -flto, so it will allow cross inlining and dead code elimination, etc.. I'm hoping that this will greatly reduce size of the resulting executable.

Thanks for the report! Can you expand on this issue? You've opened an issue that's simply entitled "Linker plugin LTO" which isn't really descriptive about what needs to be done, what the use case is, etc.

@alexcrichton Thanks for your response! I added more detailed description.
