It was.  Now I'm seeing problems with static executables, but that's a
gcc problem rather than a v3 problem.

Now that I think about it...  Does garbage collecting the sections in a
library at all make sense?  Creating data/function sections is way cool,
since it opens up all those possibilities to the user's executables.
But even if --gc-sections were working perfectly, how do we tell which
parts of a /library/ never get called?
