- yes, ideally unutilized code should be dead-striped; but doubt
  fragmenting the libraries is a reasonable solution; as correspondingly
  a basic level of standard function implementation is likely all that's
  minimally necessary and typically desirable for an avr class machine
  application (and ideally implemented in C themselves as the compiler
  optimization for the target improves).

  (as if one wants or expects more, a different processor is likely
  a better choice)
