Any code that's not being used by any configuration of the compiler.
>From the webpage:
* Delete garbage.
#if 0 blocks that have been there for years, unused functions,
unused entire files, dead configurations, dead Makefile logic,
dead RTL and tree forms, and on and on and on. Depending on what
it is, it may not be obvious if it's garbage or not. Go for the
easy ones first.
