I don't think this is a matter of using a "C" linker, but maybe one of
using ld?

On windows, both the Microsoft linker and the Phar Lap linker we
use for embedded applications are smart enough to eliminate 
unreferenced code sections, for Ada or for other languages.

This was nice, because we were able to jettison our own USE
technology and create platform standard object modules there.
