It turned out that after merging ff2775c to LiteX,
-flto
works fine with-Os
and does not require-lgcc
anymore. That's why we are going back to the simplest solution, originally proposed by @mithro and discussed in: #253.Note: enabling LTO in LiteX requires enabling it in linux-on-litex-vexriscv as well. We have a patch prepared and will create a PR shortly.
