I understood that the system compiler on Mac OS <10.8 did not have C99
semantics for "inline". If it does, then indeed it doesn't matter, my
code will work anyway. In any case, I'm not concerned with the
contents of ctype.h or other headers; my concern is my ability to
declare my own functions "inline". In particular, I'm not affected by
ctype functions being declared in such a way that they don't have
external linkage.
