That page is pretty much completely out of date, unfortunately. Eventually we want to have user-facing knobs for this (for example, WITH_KERNEL_LTO in src.conf) but for experimentation you need to add -flto or -flto=thin to the compiler and linker invocations. This should be possible by setting CFLAGS and LDFLAGS on the command line or by editing kern.mk.home | help
