Since the linker 'ld' simply includes all data / code available
in all object files given on the command line without any check regarding
what parts of them are being used, it's not rare that there are items that 
will never be used left in the final executable.

Therefore, I wonder if anybody knows of some utility that can be used
to remove this kind of unused objects (unreferenced data / code) from 
the COFF-file generated by the linker?

If not, is there somebody busy writing this kind of utility? 

Any help at all will be much appreciated; Thanks in advance!
