Hi Michal, I ended up deciding to do a v3, because I had several changes accumulated, as described in patches. I've also left off the powerpc arch patches -- they can be found in previous posts, for reference. I've again tested ARM and it seems to be building okay and without performance regression with my configurations. I think it's going to be a matter of some toolchain options for them to go through. arm64, x86, powerpc, and arm for me all built fine with thin archives and --gc-sections enabled, so I can't see there being a fundamental issue that can't be solved. Worst case, the incremental link option can remain for a time.
