`LLVM_BITCODE_GENERATION_FLAGS` environment variable to the desired
flags, for example `"-flto -fwhole-program-vtables"`.
In other situations it is desirable to pass certain flags to `llvm-link` in the step
that merges multiple individual bitcode files together (i.e., within `get-bc`).
This can be fulfilled by setting the `LLVM_LINK_FLAGS` environment variable to
the desired flags, for example `"-internalize -only-needed"`.
## Beware of link time optimization.
