"inline" is not in the ANSI C standard (C-89 in case they went off and
did another turn while I wasn't looking). Therefore, the compiler
needn't support it. gcc -ansi, for example, will not support it.
Also, many *PROGRAMS* that are strictly ANSI-C compliant use the
kernel headers indirectly. These fail to compile with gcc -ansi.
They shouldn't. That's why inline needs to be mapped to __inline__.
Other than it looks ugly, is there a good reason to not do it?
