Even if we had it for C++ it wouldn't help when I link
against libraries, i.e. the optimizations are only done
at the source code level. Once I have only object files
and libraries, I'm out of luck. So it means that for a large
application I'd need the full source code of all used
libraries and compile them with a single call to gcc.
This is for various reasons, rather unrealistic.
