I'm not 100% sure, but I think the linker also discards unused methods, 
so you might have managed to get gcc to emit the unused methods (I don't 
recall details, but I think that is easy to do) but still not have then 
in the executable because the linker discarded them.

You could create and check a .o file to see whether the compiler emitted 
them.  If it did, I think there is a linker option to prevent the linker 
from discarding them.
