If ripping that chunk out doesn't hurt anything, I'm all in favor of it.
Redefining 'inline' tends to hurt more than it prevents (and while there
IS the case of C89 vs. C99 vs. GNU having different semantics for
'static inline', those are best worked around by writing and
consistently using wrapper macros such as 'STATIC_INLINE', not
redefining 'inline' itself).

The date alone says it may be time to quit doing it :)
