 * (Advanced) Perform cross-language LTO. This requires installing the correct version of LLVM/Clang and setting the right environment variables.
   You must know which LLVM version of your selected Rust toolchain is using.
-  For example, Rust 1.71 uses LLVM 16 because you can see it bundles a ``libLLVM-16-rust-1.71.1-stable.so`` file in the ``lib`` directory.
-  In this case, you want to install ``clang-16`` and ``lld-16`` from the Ubuntu archive.
