LTO does indeed partition the program - but the process that does this
partitioning reads in (parts of) the whole program, thus this is usually
where we require arbitrary amounts of memory.  The lto1 process that is
involved with that has the -fwpa flag passed.  The lto1 processes dealing
with partitions have the -fltrans flag passed.

Yust FYI.
