Re: [LTO] Fix C++ thunks

There are in general multiple thunks to a single virtual function.
Therefore, when you have several you may even want them to fall through
into one-another:

thunk+8: this+=4
thunk+4: this+=4

Also, note that this is a code-size optimization.

yeah, that is nifty.

It would be hard to argue this is an incredibly pressing optimization;
if it were sufficiently valuable to any single stakeholder, someone
would have done it by now.  But, it's something we should not preclude
in building out new things.

Makes sense!
