LLVM does, see: cmake/modules/AddLLVM.cmake:161:

156 function(add_link_opts target_name)
157   # Pass -O3 to the linker. This enabled different optimizations on
different
158   # linkers.
159   if(NOT (${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME} MATCHES "Darwin" OR WIN32))
160     set_property(TARGET ${target_name} APPEND_STRING PROPERTY
161                  LINK_FLAGS " -Wl,-O3")
162   endif()
163
