+To enable LTO, follow these simple steps:
+
+    Add option -flto to the invocation of compiler.
+    Add option -flto to the invocation of the linker. Additionally, you need
+	to add all options from the compiler invocations to the invocation of
+	the linker. So if you called your compiler with
+	“-march=i486 -O3 -fno-stack-protector“,
+	you will need to pass the same options to the linker.
+
+
+Note: LTO performs heavy memory optimizations that break debugging, so we recommend using it only with the release profile, not debugging and develop.
