There's a gcc attribute deprecated, which you could use to annotate the
relevant functions. It will generate warnings (IIRC) at compile time if
anything uses the function.

We're using it (with conditional code to enable it where supported) in
the perl 5 core for things, and it seems to be a good fit for this problem.
