This patch looks reasonable to me. This test (selective 4) seems to have been
broken from the beginning. Unfortunately, it passed on other platforms so
it's possible that we have a --gc-sections bug for some other target.
I think I'd like to see the test fixed to test for correct behaviour,
even though that means that it will fail on some targets. The point
of a testsuite is to catch bugs, not to hide them.
Perhaps we should apply Alan's patch to the 2.10 branch, though.
