Im quite sure that modern compilers/linkers should sort out the not-used
functions and also the static buffer, if it is not used by the
application. Independend of the fact that it is written in the same or
seperate files.

At least on the cortex M3 I only find functions, that I use in my .map
file, but I'm not sure about the AVR.

Bye,

Ole
