At first glance at this, I think it was made 'static inline' because the function (copied from FreeBSD libc) really is being inlined into the header; it wouldn't be linked into the executable otherwise as glibc does not have it. I think 'static' is essential (so the function does not get exported / defined more than once), but maybe the 'inline' can be dropped without ill effects (a compiler might choose to inline it anyway). An alternative might have been the __inline GCC extension and the necessary defines for that macro to work, but that sounds messy - making something standards-compliant by using a nonstandard feature... This why I asked first if it is really worth the effort of trying to fix this. I couldn't find any packages in unstable that compile as C89. Maintaining compatibility with FreeBSD ports seems like a good enough reason so we should see what we can do about this.
