CMake forces "thin" LTO (see this issue) which is a problem if compiling statically for distribution (e.g. in a package manager). Generally you will only want to turn this off for distributing static release builds.

@marxin Would this help solve one of your other issues with conan?

Yes, this change would definitely help!
