This would still work fine, it just would use 'static' instead of 'static
inline', though the compiler would be free to inline it anyway. However,
it's academic anyway because I have revised the patch to try
__inline__ (and __inline and _inline) if "inline" doesn't work.

Last time I investigated this (which was some time ago), the Solaris
headers didn't pass under -ansi -pedantic at least in part due to Sun's
efforts to ensure backwards compatibility.
