For the sake of posterity, this problem turned out to
be because I was not calling "assemble_name"
(varasm.c) from several of my tm.h macros, instead
outputting the names directly. Apparently this
function has a really important side-effect (a call to
mark_referenced) which prevents unreferenced code (and
data) from being emitted -- or referenced code, if you
don't use it.

Cheers,

Julian
