It's certainly doable, but I would bet the cost is too high to make it worthy. I believe the GCC code base is above one million LOC. Assuming half include a function call, the task looks daunting.

I have successfully applied this technique to a code base that was about a quarter of that size (though considerably less gnarly). Whether it will be worth the effort or not is very subjective.
