At it typically happens, last-minute "obviously correct" change was a mistake.

This doesn't work as intended:

LDFLAGS_vmlinux += $(call ld-option, --gc-sections)

With the above line, --gc-sections doesn't get added,
and vmlinux is not garbage collected.

It must be

LDFLAGS_vmlinux += --gc-sections

Sorry.
