It is -flto  (and if you are really keen, add -fwhopr  with 
-fwhole-program - experimental).

I would not advocate adding it by default.  Linking is a lot slower 
(obviously) and it seems to use more memory...  sometimes a lot more. 
I'd let the ricers play with this flag for a while before considering it 
as the default.
