It might be better if we offered this as an option to turn off and on through 
configure (My personal fork of the JDK has something along the lines of 
--enable-linktime-opt, can't remember the exact name) rather than making some 
native code have to use LTO. Additionally I also think this is better done 
similar to how HotSpot does it instead of adding LTO options as an exported 
Makefile variable and adding a new parameter to SetupNativeCompilation.
