Can it do lto on stdlib even without the nightly build-std flag?
Posted elsewhere but The default hello world stripped with one codegen unit and panic=abort was 342kB both nightly and stable. Adding lto dropped it 42kB in stable and 40kB in nightly. Adding build-std and only building core did not reduce it any further in size.
