You tell me. :) My rationale was, this being a pending upstream patch
(it hasn't hit mainline because this is a stop-gap solution while
people are working on "real" LTO, at least for C

Port and adapt Nick Piggin's original patch [1]. This enables dead code and
data elimination at linking time (gc-sections) on x86(-64).
openwrt-x86-64-generic-kernel.bin size, with my config:
Before: 3138048 bytes
After: 2937344 bytes
In other words, we save about 100 kB.
