Instead of relying in only one person and possibly waiting for his response, 
how about to start supporting it in all other arches and disabling it on 
untested arches like WinCE? For example in compile time, or so on.
That's just an idea, but I feel like lto is something that is sufficient 
important to be tested as soon as possible, and, imho, gives as a new 
interesting level of optimization.

Personally, I use gentoo and try to optimize as much as I can..

Anyway, thanks for looking at this :)

And only a suggestion, it would be usefull to have this posted somewhere 
(website for example...) to make searches better and avoid duplicate messages.
