I realize that they were not trivial to review, but that
was unavoidable. They were even more not trivial to create.

IIRC I splitted the entire GC collection patch in a way
that first patches were doing exactly this easier first part
and I hoped that at least these first patches
will be taken. They were big, but somewhat trivial,
from "it's obviously safe" department.

Had they been applied, now making --gc-sections to work
would be easier.
