I don't know whether it is beneficial or not - but having the capability to build LTO without PGO seems reasonable. I can review any pull requests altering configure.ac and Makefile.pre.in to make such a change.

Being able to separate them seems useful even if it's just from the performance research perspective of comparing "PGO only", "LTO only" and "PGO+LTO".

The LTO only numbers may be of questionable relevance to us as CPython developers, but I can definitely see them being of interest to the folks working on C compiler toolchains.

Cheers, Nick.
