Thanks for the feedback (and the later verification that MSVC only
documents __inline as supported).
Perl generally doesn't use gcc -ansi (except for dec_osf and irix) so
that's not a big issue, but given that we'll need to support __inline for
MSVC anyway, I will restructure the probe to make that easier to
incorporate, and might as well test for it anyway.
Thanks for the feedback.
