[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH] cmake: add LTO support for building luajit

[Olga Arkhangelskaia]

Fixed tabs:

  +            # Depending of compiler we need to set appropriate 
llvm/gcc-ar lib
  +            # llvm/gcc -ar is just a wrapper over ar to pass 
--plugin= option,
  +            # so that ar can understand LTO objects.
