Comment (by thomie):

 `git grep gc-sections` only returns one hit (and a comment). In
 `compiler/main/DriverPipeline.hs:`:
 {{{
                       ++ (if sLdIsGnuLd mySettings
                           then ["-Wl,--gc-sections"]
                           else [])
 }}}

 This code was added in 4a32bf925b8aba7885d9c745769fe84a10979a53 (#8405).
