There were no attachments in the received post, so I don't have any of
your results to go on. :-(

Is it only C source lines that are missing, or the corresponding lines
of assembler as well?

It wouldn't be that z() calls x() & y(), so they are dead code when z()
is not invoked? GCC may be clever enough to discard dead code. (Just
guessing) Does a -Wall show anything related?

I'm not sure that I understand the second clause. I thought that this is
what was missing.

In any event, the new information does seem to rapidly lead away from
avr-objdump, doesn't it?
