Hi,
this patch switches the default for fat-lto-objects as was documented for a
while.
-ffat-lto-objects doubles compilation time and often makes users to not notice
that
LTO was not used at all (because they forgot to use gcc-ar/gcc-nm plugins).
Sadly I had to add -ffat-lto-objects to bootstrap. This is because I do not know
how to convince our build machinery to use gcc-ar/gcc-nm during the stage2+
ltobootstrapped/regtested ppc64-linux, OK?

* config/bootstrap-lto.mk: Use -ffat-lto-objects.
* common.opt (ffat-lto-objects): Disable by default.
* doc/invoke.texi (fat-lto-objects): Update documentation.
* opts.c: Enable fat-lto-objects on lto plugin disable setups.
