A similar issue was brought up in the thread "Anonymous Namespaces" found
here http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-01/msg02323.html and
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-02/msg00001.html .

The new unit-at-a-time optimizer is unable to optimize functions inside
anonymous namespaces namespace becuase they technically have external linkage.

The solution seams to be "to make the C++ front end not use (TREE_PUBLIC(x) ==
false) to mean a symbol with internal linkage.  Instead, a language-specific
decl flag ought to be allocated to mean exactly 'internal linkage',
and all local symbols ought to get TREE_PUBLIC false." according to Zack Weinberg.

I hope this will get fixed in time for Gcc 3.4.  I know nothing of Gcc internals
so I can't do it myself so I am hoping someone else will.
