I agree with the sentiment, but maybe --gc-sections should
instead be passed by default for arm-eabi when linking, with
way to opt-out; as for cris-elf per below.

No regressions for cris-elf with this patch.  Still, on one
thought I'm also not wild about libstdc++ this way
overriding the target, and on the other hand, I'll likely to
suggest something similar (adding options) to "improve"
GCC_TRY_COMPILE_OR_LINK (more targets actually linking).
