Re: [PATCH] Fix inline functions to use 'static inline'

With just 'inline', if the compiler decides not to inline them, it isn't required to emit them at all. For some targets with -Os that is causing build failures.

"It isn't required to emit them at all" - What the heck, which compiler on earth does such horrible things?

I've taken at look at the C99 standard for the function specifier 'inline' and there is nothing that would justify such behaviour.

Of course, if that's a bug with a specific compiler version we can merge that, but the explanation in the commit doesn't make any sense to me.
