The compiler is still fairly fluid, and 5.00554 is "quite old".

In any case the B::* modules need help identifying which methods 
to save - $foo->method is a run-time lookup so there is no hint 
in the optree as to which class(es) $foo might be. So you need
to give -u flags to the compiler to say "keep this package even
though it seems not to be used".  The water is further muddied
in that compiler code is "aware" that it uses IO::* itself, so 
it has a tendency to exclude the IO::* space.
