I'm under the vague impression a year or so back the Linux kernel guys decided 
to either use the attribute always_inline or not say inline at all.  The gcc 
developers' continuing quest to try to outguess their users has essentially 
turned "inline" into a new "register"; a keyword that only pretends to be 
useful.
