All architectures but MIPS are using --gc-sections on final linking. This patch introduces that feature for MIPS to reduce the memory and flash footprint.

Tested with ELDK-4.1 and self-built gcc-4.3.3/binutils-2.19.1 on my boards. I could not test the other boards so I would appreciate it if the maintainers in CC could do a quick test on their boards.

Basically, changes made look good. I'm going to apply after a couple of weeks (or a month) of interval, even without reports from the maintainers. As the patch has been proposed in the last minutes during the merge window, we'll make it in the v2011.06 release, thanks.
