or... continue to compile everything, but in your specific driver
startup function, don't call any functions in fb.c -- call them
directly. let the linker figure out what symbols aren't being
referenced.
this only covers the staticly linked case, but it seems more common for
static link to be more memory tight than dynamic linking.
