Errors using -flto with clang

[MagicalDrizzle]

It seems this toolchain has the same problem with -flto as this one in the llvm-mingw repo: mstorsjo/llvm-mingw#12
clang: error: 'x86_64-w64-windows-gnu': unable to pass LLVM bit-code files to linker
The problem is the exact same and the solutions offered works for me, so I believe your problem is the same as in that link.

The ticket you refer to is 5 years old. Which winlibs release were you using?
