[PATCH] [RFT] m68k: enable HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

While experimenting with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS across architectures,
I noticed that this unsurprisingly works best when combined with the
--gc-sections linker flag, which is not currently allowed on m68k.

Enabling it with this patch shows significant improvements
for kernel size, looking at m68k defconfig with gcc-10, I get

4005135 1374302 167108 5546545 54a231 vmlinux-normal
3916254 1378078 167108 5461440 5355c0 vmlinux+trim
4012933 1362514 164280 5539727 54878f vmlinux+gcsection
3797884 1334194 164640 5296718 50d24e vmlinux+gcsection+trim

There are probably bugs somewhere, but if someone is able to test this
patch and fix any issues that come up, would be a useful improvement
for memory-limited machines.
