I don't see how one can detect that the function does not return from the FE,
so I don't think this is possible to implement without moving the warning to
the middle-end. Perhaps we should not care about unused static functions and
remove this warning altogether.
What happens if the static function actually returns and is used? Do you get 2
warnings?
