It does create slightly smaller code than 4.4.2:

kontron 986lcd-m with 4.4.2:

*Name                           Offset     Type         Size
fallback/romstage              0x0        stage        33881
fallback/coreboot_ram          0x84c0     stage        101427
(empty)                        0x21140    null         912358
*
vs kontron 986lcd-m with 4.5.0:

*Name                           Offset     Type         Size
fallback/romstage              0x0        stage        32673
fallback/coreboot_ram          0x8000     stage        100936
(empty)                        0x20a80    null         914086*

In my tests there was absolutely no difference when using -flto, though.
Not even when getting rid of coreboot.a (which, as Kevin stated earlier,
might confuse lto)
