IIRC I splitted the entire GC collection patch in a way that first patches were doing exactly this easier first part and I hoped that at least these first patches will be taken.

Had they been applied, now making --gc-sections to work would be easier. -- vda -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
