Sorry, I've failed to explain the problem clearly (or maybe there's a
mistake in my reasoning); it doesn't matter how the config.h is
produced. The module "extern-inline" copies a stanza of code into
config.h. That code includes a test of the preprocessor macro
"__header_inline". That macro is defined in a system header on macOS.
When config.h is #included, no other header has been included.
Therefore, the symbol will never have been defined at the point where
it is tested in config.h. Therefore, the test will always fail.
