Wrong. What C99 requires is a uselessly cumbersome form of "inline"
that is not compatible with the GCC feature. We did actually implement
C99-compatible inlines in one or two places (in the sorting code IIRC),
but it's not something that I want to put up with on a large scale.
If you ran the current sepostgres patch through an actual C99 compiler,
it would fail.
