[issue26285] Garbage collection of unused input sections from CPython binaries

[Alecsandru Patrascu]

Alecsandru Patrascu added the comment:

I attached the list for CPython3 (gc-removed-zones-cpython3.txt), but now split in two sections (core and parser), for more clarity as from what and where it is removed. As you can see, the reason why the module works is because the API that can be used by modules remains untouched.

What I was trying to say and prove before is that these GCC/LD flags are safe to use in CPython (and for any other software project) and will not break any compatibility with existing or future modules.
