Follow the discussion of Charles Manning and Mike Frysinger. Using gc_sections helps reduce image size.

Hi Thomas,

Will that stop it working with the gcc3-based nios2 nommu toolchain? The version of 'ld' in that toolchain doesn't support the --gc-sections option.

Hi Ian,

I have tested with the gcc3-based nios2 nommu toolchain and gc-sections works.

The error that we met when building busybox might be caused by the elf2flt process. There is no such problem generating elf.

Best regards, Thomas
