Thanks, I have added following text to the description:

--cut here--
 @item @samp{bootstrap-lto-noplugin}
 This option is similar to @code{bootstrap-lto}, but is intended for
-hosts that do not support the linker plugin.
+hosts that do not support the linker plugin. Please note that static
+libraries are not compiled with link time optimizations without
+linker plugin.  Since GCC middle-end and back-end are in libbackend.a,
+it means that only part of the frontend is actually LTO optimized.
