Josh, I would be more than happy to see gcc/ld becoming clever enough to pack functions intelligently (say, align big ones to cacheline boundaries, and fit tiny ones into the resulting padding "holes"). I'm afraid in the current state of gcc code, that'll be a very tall order to fulfil. In this BZ, I'm asking for something easy-ish to be done.
