+Subject: [PATCH] crypt-port: Add the bits for compiling with link-time
+ optimization.
+
+GCC 10.2 and LLVM/Clang 10 offer initial support for building
+libraries, that are using symbol versioning features, with LTO.
+
+To make use of this with GCC 10.2, the exported versioned symbols
+need to be declared explicitly with __attribute__((symver (...))).
+
+LLVM/Clang 10 supports symbol versioning with LTO out of the box
+without any changes needed.
+
+Fixes #24.
