Hmm, check_func_headers doesn't seem to work properly on the compilers 
I've got; I can reproduce this both on gcc 4.3 on linux and gcc 4.0 on OS 
X, and additionally with the mingw32ce compiler (gcc 4.1).

To reproduce the case, try compiling this snippet:

void functionThatDoesNotExist();
int main(int argc, char **argv){
    (void) functionThatDoesNotExist;
    return 0;
}

Since the value of the function pointer isn't used, gcc seems to optimize 
away the whole reference to the function, so this compiles and links just 
fine.
