At the moment, not really with DMD.
GDC inherits -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections from GCC, those 
combined with -Wl,--gc-sections might work. I haven't tried this though, 
and I'm not aware of anyone that has.
IIRC --gc-sections breaks DMD exception handling so that doesn't really 
work there (--gc-sections will probably "work" with a custom linker 
script, but AFAICT then any function with an exception table (and 
anything it references) won't be stripped).

And of course, once LLVMDC (or another LLVM-based compiler) is complete 
enough I'm pretty sure it should be able to do that.
