ThinLTO supports fast incremental builds through the use of a cache,
which currently must be enabled through a linker option.

Cache Pruning
-------------
To help keep the size of the cache under control, ThinLTO supports cache
-pruning. Cache pruning is supported with ld64 and ELF lld, but currently only
-ELF lld allows you to control the policy with a policy string. The cache
-policy must be specified with a linker option.

A policy string is a series of key-value pairs separated by ``:`` characters.
Possible key-value pairs are:
