That is very strange. Can you post your patches somewhere?

Start from here 9776c4e9d00ac49d6388ffe9e084ff03b37ae479 export ARCH=arm export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-
make imx6dl_mamoj_defconfig build it
Try then to enable LTO and build it again
spl/u-boot-spl.bin exceeds file size limit: limit: 0xefa0 bytes actual: 0xf071 bytes excess: 0xd1 bytes
So LTO does not help even on beginning on this board. You don't need to apply any patch for this test
I think that's some artifact of mixing LTO/non-LTO and the world not getting rebuilt? Just enabling LTO after the defconfig works fine and is smaller than before.
In order to save space I did not change what we have. Every build starts from a mrproper and new configuration. I can not mix LTO/non-LTO in this case. I'm using upstream defconfig and upstream defconfig + LTO enabled and the result is that spl increase in size for LTO building. I'm working to keep out part that are not really needed but I was hoping that LTO give me some help here
Yes, LTO saves about 5KiB on the SPL binary. You just need to enable it in the config before you start building, not after you've built everything once.
Offcourse ;) but this not the case. I don't drink enough to think that change a config, decrease the build size ;)
LTO is an entirely different way of the compiler / linker optimizing the binary. So yes, in this case enabling a single option decreases the size.
