functexcept.cc draws in everything

to the linker.  The library is built so that each function gets its own
section, and the linker should be able to discard the others.

(Generally, you want "e.g." instead of "fx".)

I'd have no problem with this.  Thoughts, anyone?  We've discussed it before
but I don't recall why we decided not to.
