I think I asked before about this being made unconditional, but the hit
on final link time was noticeable. Am I remembering that right? If so,
sure, let's keep it separate.

/me makes noises about make -jN and the jobserver and not using all
processors on a machine if we were asked nicely not to.
I wrote a jobserver aware tool for the documentation builds, but it's in
python (scripts/jobserver-exec). Instead of reinventing that wheel (and
in Perl), we could:
1) ignore this problem and assume anyone using LTO is fine with using all CPUs
2) implement a jobserver-aware Perl script to do this
3) make Python a build dependency of CONFIG_LTO and re-use scripts/jobserver-exec

Oh, I think lds should be explicitly a "local" at the start of this
function, perhaps back in the symversions patch that touches this?
