I don't know that much about ThinLTO but ThinLTO just works on summaries instead of the full code right? It still seems the linker is the one who reads these summaries (doc: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThinLTO.html).

As far as I remember from some LLVM talks, apparently only ThinLTO is kind of usable, full LTO doesn't seem to be fully used.

Just my perception.
