Are you sure about this? Compiling with -save-temps shows that the symbol is
present in GCC's assembly output; specifying --print-gc-sections also shows
that the linker is discarding it:

/usr/bin/ld.bfd: Removing unused section '.text.KeepMe' in file
'/tmp/ccWbtSKK.ltrans0.ltrans.o'


Gold linker does not exhibit this (try -fuse-ld=gold). Can you report it
against the BFD linker at sourceware.org/bugzilla?
