Probably because it is required for relocation.
But then I don't understand why it is successfully removed from object
files which were not partially linked, see:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2006-09/msg00222.html
where H.J. Lu succeeds in removing a symbol from an object file.
Is there a difference w.r.t. relocation between the symbol X in his case
and in my case?
