During the incremental link (by @option{-r}) the linker plugin defaults to
@option{rel}. GNU Binutils 2.44 or later is needed to incrementally link
LTO objects and non-LTO objects into a single mixed object file. If any
of the object files in an incremental link cannot be used for link-time
optimization, the linker plugin issues a warning and uses @samp{nolto-rel}.
