I'm not sure how dead code stripping on OSX works. Maybe this gets
into trouble with the assembler part, which doesn't conform to the
rules for standard C functions. E.g. there's cross-jumping between
the internal pseudo-functions.

I'm only pushing releases that have no dead code in the core VM.
So simply avoid that build flag.
