i'm not sure these changes are useful.  the resolution of the symbols happens 
at link time, so it isnt like gcc will be able to optimize away the default.

if anything, it'd make more sense to declare the functions as external/weak, 
and then check that the pointer is not NULL.  that'd save on the overhead of 
having uncalled stub functions that merely return 0 in the final linked image.
