I provided a proof-of-concept patch (I had a hackish patch that removed much
more stuff back then, but that was the "clean" version of part of it for
discussion) for that 4 years ago when I worked on a project that was quite
space-constrained, and it wasn't exactly met with a lot of enthusiasm by GLib
people. See bug #727798, and Matthias' reply "I'm not interested in this.".
Similar comments were made on IRC back then.
What that bug devolved into then was looking at having the linker fix the
problem for us, but that was overall not very successful.
Maybe the situation is different nowadays
> If that means splitting GIO into multiple parts
Splitting GIO would be ABI breakage, it's too late for fixing this properly now
until GLib 3 happens, if it ever happens. So the best that can be done here is
optionally disabling parts of GIO.
