I don't know if that could be the problem but rdtsc returns 2 32 bits
values. The example is not an inline function, but an rdtsc function could
be like:

long long unsigned rdtsc()
{
long unsigned hi,lo;
long long unsigned nmb;

asm volatile(
	"rdtsc"
    :"=a"(lo),"=d"(hi)
    );
nmb=(((long long)hi)<<32)|((long long)lo);
return nmb;
}

Can you show the error messages you get?

It is strange that you should get any errors at all: an inline
function is like a macro, it disappears without a trace in the
compiled object code, so the linker should not complain, because
there's no symbol corresponding to the function for it to see any
multiple definitions.  There simply should not be any definition at
all.

Did you perhaps disable inlining, or compiled with some headers that
define away __inline__?
