Since the thin-lto option is available for macOS distribution.
We can consider using the thin-lto option for the next macOS Python distribution?

see bpo-44340

However, to use thin-lto, build-installer.py should use clang compiler.
We need to check this issue.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will do some testing and, if warranted, make the necessary changes.
