I've finally understood the problem, and it seems that removing all
uses of inline is probably excessive.  We just can't declare functions
with static variables as inline.  `static inline' (but not `inline
static') is ok for functions without static variables, as long as
`inline' is defined away for compilers that don't support it (which
AC_C_INLINE should take care of).

Of course, re-enabling inline is not a requirement for the release,
since we can always re-enable it later.
