Hi Honza,

Can you take a look at

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39472

I'd like to backport it to 4.4 branch. The motivation is people can
use Linux native 4.4 gcc
to develop EFI drivers. Otherwise, people have to install and use
mingw cross gcc on Linux
for EFI drivers. There are 2 issues with mingw cross gcc on Linux for EFI:

1. Mingw cross gcc doesn't come with Linux.
2. "ld --gc-sections " is a no-op on mingw target. It makes EFI
drivers, which are PIE
executables without any shared libraries, too big.

Thanks.
