@thesamesam gcc internals uses slim rather than thin https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/LTO-Overview.html
I also cant remember when gcc switched from full lto to WHOPR by default but it was about the same time hjl linux binutils went away. And the bfd linker got plug-in support. That was so long ago too; maybe 15 years ago. The original whorp mode was gold only as plug-in support was gold only.

@thesamesam https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2015-February/087626.html So it was closer to 10 years rather than 15. So gcc 6 or 7.

@pinskia Thanks, I'll tweak that tomorrow (and maybe put it into a proper article at some point, not just on a wiki).
