Thanks Michal,
I should add this version builds quite a bit slower than other LTO trees, because the single pass kallsyms didn't quite make it, so the Link Time Optimization is re-done 2-3 times if KALLSYMS is enabled. That will be hopefully fixed next cycle.
LTO will always be somewhat slower than a normal build, but right now it's a lot slower because of this, depending on the size of the vmlinux.
