libjimage has a few unused functions/methods; those are listed when logging elimination with -Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,--print-gc-sections .
We could remove them (or with if are still needed for completeness put them into #if 0 ) to reduce lib size on Linux and AIX.
On Windows and macOS it seems the compiler/linker default settings are good enough to eliminate the code.
