That pretty much defeats the purpose of any inlining size calculations
on -Os - and would make it impossible for better or bugfixed compilers
to improve the situation.
So I think the original patch makes sense (and I already applied it),
we want known-simple and performance critical methods (such as atomic
ops) always inlined.
