Bytecode portability is a good goal, but it was never a design
parameter (at least not to us).  To fix these issues, we will need to
insert a translation layer in the streamer.

Would you object if this work is done as a follow-up during stage3 or
may be as a 4.6 feature?  The majority of use cases for LTO will
involve bytecode generation and consumption in the same build.

I am fixing the rest of the comment you had.


Thanks.  Diego.
