Thiago Macieira 1bd27f24fb Add link-time optimization support for Clang, GCC and ICC
GCC currently requires fat object files for static libraries, since the
linker would otherwise not load the .o file from the archive at all and
the linking would fail with a lot of undefined references. Clang on
Linux also needs this, but it has no equivalent flag, so enabling LTCG
for Clang on static libraries will result in linker error.

This commit does not add support for enabling it in configure. It can be
enabled on a per-project basis by doing CONFIG += ltcg or by passing
-config ltcg to qmake's command-line.
