With a bit of manual tweaking I managed to build a vm using the -flto
flag (from the 3666 sources). gcc managed to inline stackValue, failed,
isIntegerObject, integerObjectOf, but failed to do the same for success,
isKindOf, popThenPush, integerValueOf and digitCompareLargewith.
The overall speedup was ~10% for SmallIntegers and ~4-5% for
equal 64-bit LargeIntegers, and ~13% for unequal ones (no bytes match).
I added -flto to CFLAGS and -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-flto to LDFLAGS.
