commit 584c550e134979fc69b86e0efb63546764146d4e
Author: Falco Girgis <gyr...@gm...>
Date:   Tue Aug 5 11:21:31 2025 -0500

    Fixed building "library" example with LTO.
    
    ...by disabling LTO within its specific Makefiles to still work with
    globally enabled LTO using fat objects.

commit 0899526b0a9e358228149f933f3f06c03ea2074e
Author: Falco Girgis <gyr...@gm...>
Date:   Tue Aug 5 11:18:26 2025 -0500

    Updated environ.sh.sample.
    
    1) New defaults for using builtins and no position-independent code.
    2) New option for LTO, which automatically uses fat objects for
       compatibility.
    3) New optional flags for various optimizations such as -fipa-pta.
