Are you sure about this? Compiling with -save-temps shows that the symbol is present in GCC's assembly output; specifying --print-gc-sections also shows that the linker is discarding it: /usr/bin/ld.bfd: Removing unused section '.text.KeepMe' in file '/tmp/ccWbtSKK.ltrans0.ltrans.o' Gold linker does not exhibit this (try -fuse-ld=gold). Can you report it against the BFD linker at sourceware.org/bugzilla?
