s/extern/static/, actually. Gcc will then happily not emit the inline
function's body if it's not needed, i.e. all usages get inlined.
On the other hand, removing the qualifier causes the compiler to write one
copy of the inlined function to every object whose source sees them.
That's rather non-nice if the inline function is defined in a header file. :-/
