Afaik the  `-Wl,--gc-sections`  does not work on AIX or macOS (at least with 
the usual linkers), so we have to limit the linker flag.
We could limit the setting for the cflags / compiler too to Linux ; I have to 
check however , maybe those add section - related flags bring some improvement 
on MacOS with the dead_strip linker option (which was introduced by 
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/8f3d0ade11ddb45bb1719b6818e1b51df237a59b 
) .
