Re: LDFLAGS = -Wl,--gc-sections

I've successfully linked it on Redhat 8.0 using GCC 3.2.2. Which version
of GCC do you have (or are you using something other than GCC)?

I'm using gcc 3.2.2 for sparc which is configured
to use the native Sun Solaris linker

/Solaris_Utils/bin/g++ -v

Reading specs from
/Solaris_Utils/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.2.2/specs
Configured with: ../configure --disable-nls
--with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.2

Do you know what the flag does?

Hadar.

Sorry, I don't remember off the top of my head. I looked it up when I saw
it first by doing a "man gcc", but I assume you have tried that. I did not
see a reference to it in the docs up on the GNU site, but I know it is in
the man pages. I am not running linux at the moment. Perhaps someone else
out there can answer?
