AFAIK, the optimal method for inlining functions across module borders
is the 'extern inline' extension provided by DJGPP: you duplicate the
function in the *header file* for that module, and mark it as 'extern
inline', while keeping the normal version inside the module .c
file. That way, other modules can use either the inlined version from
the header file, or link in the separate function. Which method is to
be used is entirely gcc's choice, then.
