    automake: ask the linker to do garbage collection · d681b22e

    By doing GC the linker removes all the symbols that are not referenced
    and/or used by the final library. This results in a saving of ~100K
    up-to ~600K per (stripped) binary (classic vs gallium drivers).
    
    If interested one can ask the compiler to print the sections that are
    removed using -Wl,--print-gc-sections.
    
    v2: Check if ld supports the flag before using it.
