 ThinLTO

I tried using this on kernel 6.17.5, but unfortunately I get this error. 
I previously tested the version in CachyOS: 
https://github.com/CachyOS/linux/commit/68984063b5e27854272241549e47cb2930ef9710 
and https://github.com/CachyOS/linux/ 
commit/00a3ff73a566b7e27b4ced46af4ce27177d9fc37 and everything works fine.

If necessary, I can send more logs.
