Strip bootstrapped binaries of unused sections
This matches the -ffunction-sections from bootstrap.pro, which tells the
compiler to create a section for each function. The -gc-sections option
tells the linker to drop what wasn't used (normally, it only drops
entire files).
Before (on Linux, built with -O3, no LTO):
