I'd say the GCC must optimize it out anyway.
I think I got some wires crossed and was thinking about printf/puts.
We want those to be optimized away at compile time (not pointed to a
stub at link time) on an SPL that has no output support, but once
that's done the low level serial functions shouldn't be referenced
anymore, right?
