The Solaris linker's equivalent is (sorry I didn't realize this
earlier): <br>
<pre wrap="">-Wl,-z -Wl,discard-unused=sections
</pre>
We can use -ffunction-section/-fdata-sections with Solaris' GCC. We
also need to pass -falign-functions=8.<br>
<br>
I will rework the patch with these changes, test it, and then
resend. <br>

Will the sun linker gc the sections itself then? or do we need
to avoid using -ffunction-section/-fdata-sections as well?
