Comment (by Phyx-):

 As I understood `--gc-sections` doesn't currently work on Windows due to a
 binutils bug. So we can't actually use it yet. Also I'm not sure the
 linker script issue has been solved, it's just been turned off because
 `--gc-sections` doesn't work anyway.

 So the PERL script is still there AFAIK, afterwards this issue can
 probably be about actually removing the script and perl bindist?
