Thanks Rodd,

The part referring to cutting functions out, sounds like what I was 
getting. The functionality was lost. The compiler was different than the 
one used for the 1155, which worked. (Bug report 150272 submitted.)

I guess they should run the gcc4 compiler on the repo to reduce the 
distro size down.

- cut from bug report.

jakub, I'm wondering if this is gcc4 optimising away these functions 
because it thinks they are unused.
