Thanks for the heads-up. I installed the attached patch into the gnulib master. It differs from your patch but should do the job. Please give it a try.

Subject: [PATCH] extern-inline: port to FreeBSD, DragonFly

* m4/extern-inline.m4 (gl_EXTERN_INLINE): Also assume the bug
is present if either __DragonFly__ or __FreeBSD__ is defined.
FreeBSD problem reported by Andrey Borzenkov in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2014-07/msg00104.html
Also, worry about __APPLE__ only if __MACH__ is also defined,
as this is more consistent with the rest of gnulib.
(_GL_EXTERN_INLINE_STDHEADER_BUG): Rename this internal macro from
_GL_EXTERN_INLINE_APPLE_BUG, since the bug is not limited to Apple.

    This bug was observed with Sun C 5.12 SunOS_i386 2011/11/16.
 
-   Suppress the use of extern inline on problematic Apple configurations.
-   OS X 10.8 and earlier mishandle it; see, e.g.,
-   <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-12/msg00023.html>.
+   Suppress extern inline (with or without __attribute__ ((__gnu_inline__)))
+   on configurations that mistakenly use 'static inline' to implement
+   functions or macros in standard C headers like <ctype.h>.  For example,
+   if isdigit is mistakenly implemented via a static inline function,
+   a program containing an extern inline function that calls isdigit
+   may not work since the C standard prohibits extern inline functions
+   from calling static functions.  This bug is known to occur on:
+
+     OS X 10.8 and earlier; see:
+     http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-12/msg00023.html

+     http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2014-07/msg00104.html

    OS X 10.9 has a macro __header_inline indicating the bug is fixed for C and
    for clang but remains for g++; see <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/41033>.
