--- Comment #6 from martin.koegler at chello dot at ---
The last patch is incorrect. In my testcase, it still exports the removed
variable in the DLL export table:
[Ordinal/Name Pointer] Table
        [   0] testval

So directly linking with the DLL produces a invalid binary.

May I ask, why you only adapt the implib generation? 
If you make sure, that the export table is correct [every exported symbol is
not removed by gc-sections], shouldn't the export library generated from it be
automatically correct too?

In my option, your first patch didn't break gc-sections. The windows default is
to export all (global?) symbols from a DLL, if no specific export list is
provided via a DEF file.
