The question isn't so much that, it's whether the compiler supports
inline functions with the same behavior as gcc.  At minimum that
would require
	* not generating extra copies of the function
	* not whining about unreferenced static functions
How many compilers have you tested this patch against?  Which ones
does it actually offer any benefit for?
