This is good news. The documentation on --gc-sections is pretty sparse, 
I wasn't sure it was intended to do that, and it does nothing on my system.

I'm using ld 2.13. The release notes say that --gc-sections works for 
it, but I guess it doesn't actually :-(. Anyhow, it is good news that it 
is working on your system. I'll modify dmd to pass the --gc-sections 
command through to the linker, and I'll not worry about older ld's 
ignoring the switch.

Thanks for helping out with this.
