Re: --gc-sections and --emit-relocs

["David Lamy-Charrier" <david dot lamy at gmail dot com>]

Hi,

I am interested in exactly the same feature and I ask this question on
the mailing list on October 11th or 12th.

Here is the response I get from Nick Clifton:
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2006-10/msg00082.html
and
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2006-10/msg00084.html

If you find any ways/patchs to make it work, I am highly interested.

Hope this help,
David
