"Building MicroPython with --gc-sections is now actually a requirement".

That's probably a bad idea. LD.INFO says this:

"Note that garbage collection for COFF and PE format targets is supported,
but the implementation is currently considered to be experimental."

AFAIK, DJGPP does not properly support (or intend to support) this.
Don't use it here, it doesn't work.
