I fear this is probably due to the shrink_dead_code patch, whose express
purpose is to trim functions out of the binaries that aren't used in the
program - we have no good way to detect that we want to keep these for the
benefit of external vfs modules, and in this case the external vfs modules
are the *only* things using this function.
