Select this if the architecture wants to do dead code and
data elimination with the linker by compiling with
-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections and linking with
--gc-sections.
This requires that the arch annotates or otherwise protects
its external entry points from being discarded. Linker scripts
must also merge .text.*, .data.*, and .bss.* correctly into
output sections. Care must be taken not to pull in unrelated
sections (e.g., '.text.init'). Typically '.' in section names
is used to distinguish them from label names / C identifiers.
