Fw: Does ld removes uncalled functions from final exe ?

[Valery Pykhtin]

Hi Nick,

My platform is Pentium 4,
Red Hat Linux 9.0
gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)
GNU ld version 2.15
Linux run in VMWare under WinXP (I suppose there must be no difference).

As I understand to make -gc-sections option work I must turn on -Bstatic
option.
This works ! :)

Thank you for your patience,
Valery
