Using `--gc-sections` requires each function and data item to
be
placed into its own section (-fdata-sections and
-ffunction-sections
in gcc). AFAIK dmd does not do it.
Hmm. Does that mean gdc supports that, then?
Actually I was wrong, looks like DMD does section differentiation
by default. I am wondering if --gc-sections should be made
default on Linux targets...
