patch 9.1.0622: MS-Windows: mingw-build can be optimized Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/032accd98b6915b5d642a2d059cc666c2c786579 Author: Ken Takata <kentkt@csc.jp> Date: Fri Jul 26 18:51:20 2024 +0200 patch 9.1.0622: MS-Windows: mingw-build can be optimized Problem: MS-Windows: mingw-build can be optimized Solution: use --gc-sections to reduce the size of the executable (Ken Takata) Use the --gc-sections linker option and the -ffunction-sections compiler option to reduce the size of the executable files. To make these work, the -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables compiler option is also needed. This is enabled by default and can be disabled by `USE_GC_SECTIONS=no`. Note: A similar feature has been already used in MSVC. (The /OPT linker option.) related: #15350 Signed-off-by: Ken Takata <kentkt@csc.jp> Signed-off-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org>
