You might consider taking a look at cxref - it's been a while since I used
it, but it produces a lot of different documentation from C source files,
including function usage. I couldn't remember the URL, but a swift search
via Google gave this:
http://www.gedanken.demon.co.uk/cxref
Seems to produce a lot more ifnormation, and in different formats, than
the version I used to use :-)

As already mentioned in another reply, the -Wall option (which I *always*
use out of habit) should report stuff like this.

Must confess I've never used a compiler on any platform, or for any
language, that generates lists of function calls, dependencies, etc. I
guess I've been spoilt :-)
Hope this helps...
