Description
Summary:
After / during the feature/2.17 is merged, we need to figure out how to build rstanarm with LTO whenever possible.
Description:
Adding -flto=8 to the ~/.R/Makevars reduces the compile time to about 30 seconds per Stan program (in parallel) and about 90 seconds to link.
R Version:
3.4.x
Operating System:
Debian

Research direction
Start by reviewing the feature/2.17 context and the ~/.R/Makevars setting described in the issue, then determine how rstanarm is currently built on Debian. Done means LTO is used whenever possible without breaking supported builds, with compile and link behavior checked against the timings reported here.
