[llvm-dev] How to emit opt report when using LTO

Unfortunately,  -Rpass options are not currently passed to the linker
invoked when you do the LTO link. To workaround, pass the internal LLVM
option which are -pass-remarks* (e.g. -pass-remarks=.
-pass-remarks-missed=. etc). How you do this will depend on the linker you
are using. If gold, then when you do the LTO link pass via -plugin-opt:
-Wl,-plugin-opt,-pass-remarks=. for example. If using lld, I believe it
would be -Wl,-mllvm -Wl,-pass-remarks=.  (i.e. each internal LLVM option
needs to be preceeded by an -mllvm on the link link).
