I read on the libstdc++ list that Alan Modra is resurrecting ld's
--gc-sections code (look for the "Joy and bunny rabbits!" thread from
this month in the list archives). While this code never worked for
gcj, I think it ought to be possible for someone to make it work. I
suspect this would let you reduce the minimum statically-linked
application size, as it would let you remove all unused methods,
including virtual methods, from your image.
