This makes sense: nim creates lots of small functions spread out over many C files. A much worse solution is to try to annotate code with `inline` - it copies functions to multiple C files but still doesn't do intermodule optimizations significantly limiting the compilers' ability to reason about the code, causing bloat and misrepresenting the usefulness of a function to the call frequency analysis that drives actual (C-compiler) inlining and many other optimizations. In particular, many nim functions are part of `system` or the `C` backend - stack tracing, memory allocation etc - nim's inlining system is pretty incomplete in that it does not deal with these and many other cases. * windows workaround * skip LTO on windows for now
