If you have a better proposal where to add -ffunction-sections and
--gc-sections?

In my previous patch, I proposed a generic config switch (which added
those flags in the generic Makefile) for that, but the only comment I
got was from Mike Frysinger, stating that an extra config switch was
unnecessary when I could simply set those variables in the board config.mk.

Those two switches make for a significant reduction in code size (~61000
bytes, nearly one flash sector!), so dropping them is no real option.

Which solution would you prefer?
