ruiu added a comment.

lld's `--gc-sections` behavior didn't take start/stop symbols into consideration, but it turned out some programs didn't work with that algorithm, so we (I believe rafael or pcc) added the logic to preserve sections for start/stop symbols. Therefore, I think we can't ignore start/stop symbols at the section gc stage and need to at least keep the existing logic.
