From e3d8676f5722b7622685581e06e8f53e6138e3ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2017 23:42:36 +0200 Subject: use -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and --gc-sections In combination with kernel symbol export stripping this significantly reduces the kernel image size. Used on both ARM and MIPS architectures.
