That's what I said, I didn't! (And I believe that should be
'-fno-inline-functions', if 'man egcs' is to be believed.)

No, absolutely not! I'm just suggesting a small, innocuous code change to
make life easier for some users. It would in fact be a good idea to put a
notice in the FAQ, or on the web site, or somewhere, to alert RH5.1 users

And that's as much as I care to debate this little triviality.
