Howto: Repackage a library with only the routines of interest?

Is there a way to repackage a static library (to reduce it size) by 
including only the functions (and their dependencies) that are needed?

Are there any tools to help do this?  (Help find dependencies, especially. 
 I think doing this manually would take months...)

I've managed to rewrite my algorithm(s) using routines from CBLAS and 
CLAPACK.  The application when built is kind of large at 5MB., due to 
linking the entire CBLAS and CLAPACK libraries with my code.  For this 
application to port to a DSP, I'll need to reduce the application size. 
One way to do this is to "shrink" the library.

Any tips would be appreciated.

TIA,
Bruce
