-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.
