Perhaps to fix problems like this, we should define 
LOCK_VARIABLE/FUNCTION(x) to ((void)x), if it wasn't already defined by 
the platform. This will cause the variable to be referenced, and cause 
an error if it doesn't exist, but also compile to nothing. The 
LOCK_FUNCTION MACRO would need to (void)x##_end (or whatever it is) as 
well, lest we let slip by some functions that weren't END_OF_FUNCTION'd.

Though since this all going away in 4.3, it may not be worth it.
