Description
A number of statically-linked functions are detected in the LEGO Star Wars demo (https://www.gamepressure.com/download.asp?ID=7338) but are not removed from the final decompiled code, e.g. `__pow_pentium4()`. This goes both for apparently standard functions and functions from user-specified sigfiles.

Research direction
Reproduce the LEGO Star Wars demo decompilation and inspect why statically linked functions such as __pow_pentium4() remain in the final output. Trace both apparently standard functions and functions supplied through user-specified sigfiles; done means those detected functions are removed in both cases.
