Then the proposed solution won't work either...
Just do an xyz.h:
#ifdef NEED_BIG_UGLY_FUNC /* Prototype, gets pulled in when called */ void big_ugly_func(int this, void *that); #else /* Inline definition, gets nuked */ static inline void big_ugly_func(int this, void *that) {} #endif
while xyz.c goes into a library (*.a) with the full definition. Gets compiled, but not linked in.
