Does it work for all situations? I remember a bug for the rust compiler that broke libraries when --gc-sections was used, because it removed the metadata that rust needed to load the library. One of the fpc devs can probably say whether fpc may have a similar problem. I know with gcc you will need -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections if you want --gc-sections to do anything, and there are warnings attached to those (see the gcc man page).
