You might try adding "-fno-inline-functions-called-once" to the CFLAGS.

The placement of statement probes is tricky.  If you have

FILE.c:
1: function foo (arg1) { /* inlined */ }
2: 
3: function bar () {
4:   expr=zoo
5:   foo (expr)
6:   baz (expr)
7: }

You would prefer to put in a 
   probe XXX.function("foo") {$arg1}
but may have to do instead
   probe XXX.statement("*@FILE.c:5") {$expr}
