[New-bugs-announce] [issue44340] Add support for building cpython with clang thin lto

[Brett Holman]

New submission from Brett Holman <bpholman5 at gmail.com>:

The existing --with-lto argument could be extended to pass through a value to select non-default lto compiler options:

CC=clang ./configure --with-lto=thin

This would allow default behavior to remain unchanged, while allowing those that want to use thin lto to opt in.

For what it's worth, the tests (make test) pass using clang 11.1.0 and thinlto.
