target/linux/generic/patches-3.12/220-gc_sections.patch

   1 From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org>
   2
   3 use -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and --gc-sections
   4
   5 In combination with kernel symbol export stripping this significantly reduces
   6 the kernel image size. Used on both ARM and MIPS architectures.
