The PR says that this deletes "uncalled code".  I imagine that this is safe for a .exe.  But for a .dll?  As i understand it, one can, from python code, access any function via ctypes, so it seems to me that there is no way for the linker to know which callable functions in a .dll can be safely deleted.  Am I missing something?
