LTO option allows to have smaller executable stripping unneeded part of code. These options were added by a095f4806e ("build-sys: statically build agent"). The gain of using these options currently are quite small, from a small test: $ ll *.exe -rwxrwxr-x. 1 freddy freddy 506880 Jul 26 11:26 vdagent.exe -rwxrwxr-x. 1 freddy freddy 198656 Jul 26 11:26 vdservice.exe $ ll *.exe -rwxrwxr-x. 1 freddy freddy 509952 Jul 26 11:26 vdagent.exe -rwxrwxr-x. 1 freddy freddy 200192 Jul 26 11:26 vdservice.exe Considering that there are some bug in some recent MinGW distributions like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1475237 and the small gain I would disable these options.
