Subject: [PATCH 0/5] e2fprogs: miscellaneous

Hi all,

This series enhances the e2fsprogs build system to allow us to take
advantage of new compiler technologies.  The first patch enables LTO,
which can perform executable-wide code optimizations (particularly
eliminating dead functions).  The three patches after that enable the
sanitizers for undefined behavior, memory access, and thread safety.
With these sanitizers we can collect runtime reports about questionable
C code, memory access problems, and thread safety problems (though at
the moment e2fsprogs isn't heavily threaded).

Patch 5 fixes e2fsck to adjust the quota counters when clearing orphaned
inodes.

Questions?  Comments?  This series targets e2fsprogs 1.45.
