Sorry, wish that this time it is ok.

Is it ok to change the following lines in shreloc1.c/shreloc2.c from:
ATTRIBUTES void fn_1 (int unused) { }
ATTRIBUTES void fn_2 (int unused) { }
to:
ATTRIBUTES void fn_1 (int refered) { static_var_1 = refered; }
ATTRIBUTES void fn_2 (int refered) { static_var_2 = refered; }
Please comments. Thanks.
Cheers
