@cindex garbage collection
-@item --no-gc-sections
-@itemx --gc-sections
+@item --gc-sections
+@itemx --no-gc-sections
Enable garbage collection of unused input sections. It is ignored on
targets that do not support this option. This option is not compatible
with @samp{-r}. The default behaviour (of not performing this garbage
collection) can be restored by specifying @samp{--no-gc-sections} on
the command line.
+@kindex --print-gc-sections
+@kindex --no-print-gc-sections
+@cindex garbage collection
+@item --print-gc-sections
+@itemx --no-print-gc-sections
+List all sections removed by garbage collection. The listing is
+printed on stderr. This option is only effective if garbage
+collection has been enabled via the @samp{--gc-sections}) option. The
+default behaviour (of not listing the sections that are removed) can
+be restored by specifying @samp{--no-print-gc-sections} on the command
+line.
