Bug#575448: please package gcc-4.5's gold LTO plugin!



Package: gcc-4.5
Version: 4.5-20100227-1
Severity: wishlist

GCC-4.5 has a gold linker plugin to do LTO, see
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/whopr/driver

It should already be built during a normal gcc-4.5 build,
the plugin should be called  liblto-plugin.so.

I can't find that in the Debian experimental package, please add it to the
gcc-4.5 package (or create a new package for it).

It should allow more LTO optimizations than just -flto alone.
