Hi,

While trying -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,-gc-sections
combination to omit unreferenced func/data, I observed an increase in
.got section, while other sections such as .text and .data did decrease.

I'm using binutils-2.16, glibc-2.3.6, gcc-3.4.4 combination.

Try with binutils 2.17 or a current cvs snapshot. If memory serves me, we fixed several aspects of --gc-sections *after* the release of 2.16.
