Nope, I don't have access to that platform myself.  I took the idea from
https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/include/Rinlinedfuns.h .

Right, but (i) "static inline" is safe, (ii) who knows what silly
patches Apple will apply to their next GCC series, and (iii) let's not
put too much effort into systems that deliberately break things.

Maybe we should just undefine `__GNUC__' when `__APPLE_CC__' is
defined...
