Note with all workarounds proposed they have to "work" (aka not break) with non-GNU ld including gold, Solaris ld, HPUX ld, etc. ... I presume the linker plugin API doesn't allow us to even tell whether --gc-sections was specified for the link or not. So I agree with HJ that this needs to be fixed in the linker. Given there's a known workaround for users that isn't too bad.
