[PATCH v3 6/9] configure,meson: add option to enable LTO

Posted by Daniele Buono 5 years, 3 months ago

This patch allows to compile QEMU with link-time optimization (LTO).
Compilation with LTO is handled directly by meson. This patch only
adds the option in configure and forwards the request to meson

Tested with all major versions of clang from 6 to 12
