Hello group,

This is a very specific question for embedded SPARC AdaMulti/VxWorks
dead code removal.  I have been informed by the vendor that there is
no mechanism for dead code removal in this environment.  Has anyone
out there experienced the same problem and discovered a work-around?

The linker being used is gnu/ld.  Is there a possible option releate
to this linker?

As a more general question: would it be a worthwhile option to add an
-exclude:sourcefile:object to ld?  Has anone thought of this before?

Mike
