> This is what LLVM's "LTO" (Link Time Optimization) does, basically. This is triggered by building with -O4 and you'd need to use an LTO-aware linker (like gold) to handle the link step. I'm not sure how you'd actually dump out bitcode from the linker, rather than a final binary - but that's more-or-less where you'd get involved.

Instead of using linker, you can call all .o files and process them - when building with -O4 they contain bitcode.
