I think you mean "it may be that FDE+1 *also* needs discarding, not
just FDE".
Would you mind rephrasing comment to mention multiple inline and template
instances in addition to --gc-sections? Also, it's not just GNU linker;
gold also does the same (after fix for PR gold/10400 that is), and I think
every other ELF linker has to do so as well.
