Works fine for Sun CC 5.3+, HP-UX aCC A.03.37+, IBM xlC 6.0+, Tru64
UNIX cxx 6.5+, GCC, and IRIX CC 7.4+. I cannot speak for anything
else.

The correct solution is checking for 'inline' for whatever the current
language is. Of course, this means programmers cannot use 'inline' for
C and C++ which is counterintuitive so the patch might be good enough.
