With linker sections GC enabled, we get a test failure in `nlist.c`:
```
nlist: nlist.c:72: main: Assertion `rc == 0' failed.
```

This turns out to be because several sections used by the test can be discarded:
```
ld: removing unused section '.text.func_pub' in file 'nlist.o'
ld: removing unused section '.bss.data_pub_uninit' in file 'nlist.o'
ld: removing unused section '.data.data_pub_init' in file 'nlist.o'
```

Reproduced with `CFLAGS="-Og -fdata-sections -ffunction-sections"` and
`LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,-z,start-stop-gc"`.

Additionally, `LDFLAGS="... -Wl,--print-gc-sections"` can help with diagnosing
which sections get removed.

We already mark these symbols as `used`, but we need `retain` [0] for them
to survive linker GC too.
