For example take function like 'axutil_date_time_is_utc' and runa grep on Axis2/C source. This function is never used in our code. But we have implemented it and one who implement service or client might use it in his/her code. This kind of functions are there to provide consistent API to the users who use this library to write their own services/clients. So I think it's better not to use -Wunused-function flag (Currently we are using -Wall in Axis2/C build and we will have to use seperate warning flags if we encounter this kind of problems in future with new version of compilers).
