Shouldn't I? busybox_unstripped is not built.

All right, attached.

Could be. In that case, does anyone know what binutils version is
required? I also suggest an update of the relevant FAQ section?

  http://www.busybox.net/FAQ.html

The only notice about gc-sections I could find in the binutils docs
is:

,----[ /usr/share/doc/binutils/ld/NEWS.gz ]
| Changes in version 2.10:
|
| * Added garbage collection of unused sections, enabled by --gc-sections.
|   It does require a bit of backend support; currently implemented are
|   arm-elf, avr-elf, d10v-elf, fr30-elf, i386-elf, m32r-elf, m68k-elf,
|   mcore-elf, mips-elf, mn10300-elf, ppc-elf, sh-elf, sparc-elf, and v850-elf.
|   Others will ignore the option.
`----

Please note, debian sarge has binutils 2.15-6.


Cheers,
Cristian
