cmake: use -flto=auto compiler flag when supported#1571
Merged
Conversation
Use -flto=auto compiler flag when supported, this silence this GCC warning: > lto-wrapper: warning: using serial compilation of # LTRANS jobs This also greatly speeds-up the linkage time as it enables LTO multithreading in GCC (either by using Make jobserver if detected, either by detecting CPU cores).

LGTM. I tried on MSYS2 and it didn't break anything, although the parallelism didn't really appear to work. Running under Ninja, there were 6 processes but only one of them ever used the CPU at a time. |

🤷 If we want faster linking, we should just use mold or one of the new fancy linkers, but no harm so LGTM |

I tested with: Either the flag is used and there is no error, either the flag is not used because detected as unsupported. I haven't checked one by one how it ended, but in all cases this never failed neither printed obvious warnings. |
