This patch should fix the build failure, though it doesn't explain why gcc doesn't inline such a simple function.
This indeed allow me to build. My guess is that gcc-2.96 won't inline anything in a debug build. The suggestion about 'static inline' instead of 'extern inline' worked right up until it got to the file that actually implemented the various functions in question, at which point the compiler complained about the two definitions not matching, one being static the other not. My guess as to why the 'static inline' would work is that while it would still not actually inline it in a debug build, it is providing a static implementation to each file that includes winbase.h. This is horrible bloat for debug builds as many files that do not need it will get those functions anyway. It would still be nice if there could be a way to inline those various functions in a more generic way so anything built against winelib outside of the scheduler could take advantage of the inlining, but I really don't see, the way inline is being interpreted in 2.96, that this could be done.
