  Is the code associated with unused functions of a used archive ever removed
from the executable that uses the archive?  After linking I see with 'nm'
there are many functions in the executable that are never called.  This is
making my executable rather large since the archive is huge.  Would elf
help in anyway with this?

  Thanks.
