Any chance we enable LTO too. This was not added by default to the
pacman package - my opinion is the build resources for LTO are a bit
high, so the user should enable it if wanted in the system makepkg.conf.
But we did agree to enable it for system packages, and thus needs
added to devtools makepkg.conf:

## DBScripts
There has been great progress on debug support for dbscripts , review
and testing is very much appreciated. [1]
I reviewed the code changes in detail many, many months ago, and again
when I reviewed the test suite changes about 2 months ago. Apart from a
minor issue with the testsuite (I flagged those on github), I consider
the changes ready.

BTW, great to see this happening! This is the sort of leadership we
need to keep the distro rolling. Is this a early push for election in
around 6 weeks time? :)
