I agree that that is a better/safer approach than using __forceinline.

Kurt's patch proposes to try to define USE_INLINE via a configure test
rather than hard-coding it like that.  While I'm not entirely convinced
that the configure test will work, I like hard-coding it even less.
Let's try the configure test and see what happens.
