[PATCH v2 1/1] Makefile: enable --gc-sections

[Kele Zhang]

The --gc-sections option enables the linker to perform garbage
collection of unreferenced code and data, thereby reducing the binary
size.

The -ffunction-sections option will place each function into a separate
section, so it is necessary to add .text.* to the linker script.
