Just for the record this was with an SVN version of gcc (4.3) which some claim has broken inline semantics. This hasn't any priority at the moment. I was only trying this out because I wanted to try the new gcj. But there is a backport of that available for 4.1 which I will use so as to not be tripped over any changes in the C and C++ compilers. See svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/redhat/gcc-4_1-branch-java-merge-20070117
It was bad inline semantics in gcc (svn) long since fixed.
