I think we should add the above (and maybe for other compilers as they
get used)

For glibc sys/cdefs.h also should contain

	#define __inline __inline

and in the case where inline is not available we'll have

	#define __inline 0

All code in headers which depends on inline will be protected by

	#if __inline
	#endif

This tests exactly for what we are looking for, namely, that inlining
is available.
