Hi,

x86_64 build: https://abf.openmandriva.org/build_lists/610456
znver1 build: https://abf.openmandriva.org/build_lists/610531
armv7hnl build: https://abf.openmandriva.org/build_lists/611357
i686 build: https://abf.openmandriva.org/build_lists/612950
aarch64 build: waiting for bug fixes

Many thanks to you all who worked with upstream to add all the needed features and fixed all the compilation bugs!

thinlto ?

@javashin nope, as LTO support is on another project https://github.com/andikleen/linux-misc

I believe that LTO implementation is for GCC. @samitolvanen has made one for Clang to take advantage of CFI: https://github.com/samitolvanen/linux/commits/clang-lto
