Nikita Popov bdb4929ebd Use LLVM_UNITTEST_LINK_FLAGS to reduce link times for unit tests
We currently spend a lot of time performing LTO on unit tests,
which is largely wasted effort. We can't disable LTO entirely,
because we don't have fat objects, but at least we can disable
post-link optimization.

For my local build, this reduces time in %build by about 30%.

Subject: [PATCH] Add LLVM_UNITTEST_LINK_FLAGS option
This allows specifying linker flags that should only be applied
to unit tests, e.g. to disable LTO optimization for them.
