     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.
