How about if we change xmalloc.c so that it works, even in this
scenario, by building an external .o file that can be linked in by
people compiling without optimization?  Would it then be acceptable to
test __NO_INLINE__ at compile time?

I would prefer the flexibility, as I don't like the idea that
whether-to-inline has to be chosen all at once, for an entire package.
