According to the proposal, we will restore the GNU handling for "extern inline" even when using -std=c99, which will fix the problem when using glibc. (Then we will break it again in gcc 4.4, but by then we can hope that glibc will be fixed, and we can force people who want to use -std=c99 or -std=gnu99 on GNU/Linux to upgrade to a newer glibc.) Ian
