You have to define func3. You could do it on the linker command line
using something along the lines of '-Wl,--defsym,func3=0'.
If you compile with -ffunction-sections and link with --gc-sections,
you might get away with not defining func3. I haven't tried it,
though, and it would be inherently system dependent.
