If the package you are building happens to take advantage of recent `clang` developments
such as *link time optimization* (indicated by the presence of compiler flag `-flto`), then
your build is unlikely to produce anything that `get-bc` will work on. This is to be
expected.
expected. When working under these flags, the compiler actually produces object files that are bitcode,
your only recourse here is to try and save these object files, and retrieve them yourself.
This can be done by setting the `LTO_LINKING_FLAGS` to be something like
`"-g -Wl,-plugin-opt=save-temps"` which will be appended to the flags at link time.
This will at least preserve the bitcode files, even if `get-bc` will not be able to retrieve them for you.
