[fpc-pascal] LLVM LTO

[Benito van der Zander]

Hi

> -Clflto -Clflto-no-system -k-fuse-ld=gold -k-plugin=/path/to/LLVMgold.so 

that helped, but I have to do it without -Clflto-no-system, or it gives 
an error

Then I could run my unit tests:

FPC alone: 25 seconds
LLVM: 21 seconds
LLVM LTO: 20 seconds

does not seem to matter much

Cheers,
Benito
