@Liming: is the issue still reproducible with this change?

Thanks for checking. The problem with GCC5 is that the fact that
'_ModuleEntryPoint' is also hidden, which confuses the LTO code and
makes it eliminate all input objects. I think this is a bug in LTO,
since the entry point is passed explicitly to the linker using the -e
option. But we still need to work around it.

Since the current issue (#2) is a problem with GCC49, I will propose a
separate patch to fix it by changing the 'protected' to 'hidden'. I
will then add a patch to my GCC5 series as well to work around the LTO
problem.

Thanks,
Ard.
