I do not know GCC internals so I cannot estimate effort for such  
modification. I thought that this will not be so hard, but looks that  
is is not so easy.

BTW, I realized that there may be an easier way to do such validation  
in GCC - write information about each function prototype (found where  
function is implemented) and each function call to object files (e.g.  
as debug data or in other format), and use it to perform validation in  
linker. What do you think about this?
