ah sorry, --gc-sections is for dynamic linking,
there the weak aliases dont matter
and in case of static linking -fdata-sections
and -ffunction-sections just makes the elfheader
bigger and the linking slower (sum size of sections
may be a bit smaller or bigger because of alignment
things)
so these flags may be useful for building .so
