Thanks for pointing this out to me. I did it from the wrong side. I found the 
stdio stuff in my map file so I removed it from my eCos config and than 
eliminated the only two occurrences in my project. Now that the usage of stdio 
stuff is gone so the link-time garbage collection perfectly works and saved my 
quite a bunch of space.

There is just one thing I have in my map file I would like to have gone. There 
are several methods on hal_diag_mangler_* and console as well as serial com 
stuff. As I don't have access to any com port I would also like to get rid of 
this stuff too. Can anybody give me a hint where to start here.

Thanks,
Alois
