Hi,
I have re-done this patch for gold. Please take a look and let me
know what you think. Basically, I detect references to __start_XXX and
__stop_XXX symbols from sections that will be kept and then do not
discard any section with name XXX.
2010-01-06 Sriraman Tallam <tmsriram@google.com>
* gc.cc (Garbage_collection::do_transitive_closure): Add referenced
orphan sections to the worklist.
