That would work.  One does not really do that in lto header, simply
stream the hash before streaming out the optimization_node decl.
Bit sad would be that w/o version info you have no indication if you
mixed new compiler with old objects or vice versa, but that is minor
anoyance I guess.  It would be good that compiler would just
sorryclaiming that it can not read object files created by different
version..

I believe we already safe a diff from default values rather than
streaming out all values. An option would be tom strea the option names
rather than indexes so adding/removing completely unrelated option does
not disturb the file format.
