We need a valid ELF object for dummy.o, so that objcopy can insert the vmlinuz payload. Therefore, we must build the decompresser program without LTO, otherwise dummy.o will be LLVM bytecode instead of a ELF object file. Building the decompresser with LTO wouldn't make much sense anyway, unlike building the vmlinuz itself with LTO.
