Finally GCC's garbage collector works on ARC so let's use it.
That's what I may see for HSDK:

Before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 290153   10068  222616  522837   7fa55 u-boot

After:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 261999    9460  222360  493819   788fb u-boot

Overall ~5% of memory footprint saved.
