Yes, it's a driver that is invoked by Linker when it decides to use LTO mode in GCC compiler. Later on the lto-wrapper connects to make's jobserver and runs in parallel. Note a recent [1] make implemented named pipes when it comes to communication with jobserver. And thus the '+' won't be needed in the future, but we need it for now.
