Bug#439859: Change to inline breaks existing code

["J.H.M. Dassen (Ray)" <fsmla@xinara.org>]

Consider the following case (simplified from a configure test of
experimental's goffice package):

conftest.c:
	#include <sys/types.h>
	#include <sys/stat.h>

Compile with
	gcc -c -ansi -D_BSD_SOURCE  conftest.c

Result with libc6-dev 2.6.1-3:
	In file included from /usr/include/sys/types.h:223,
			 from conftest.c:1:
	/usr/include/sys/sysmacros.h:65: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or
	'__attribute__' before 'unsigned'
	/usr/include/sys/sysmacros.h:71: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or
	'__attribute__' before 'unsigned'
	/usr/include/sys/sysmacros.h:77: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or
	'__attribute__' before 'unsigned'

This can (and IMHO should) be fixed by declaring the functions "__inline__"
rather than plain "inline". (See gcc's documentation of the -ansi switch for
details).

Greetings,
Ray
