i'm using couple of static mempool here and total size after strip -s
goes from 128 to 124k, so 4k saving. Not that much, but for such an
easy saving, it may matter for embedded systems, specially those where
there is no -fvisibility=hidden... thinking of it, for these cases we
could have an EAPI-like macro to say EINTERNAL, these would be
converted to 'static' if amalgamation or attribute "visibility=hidden"
for newer GCC and not amalgamation.
