Inlining should _never_ affect the compilability of a program. It should be
essentially invisible to programmer. It might be visible if you examined the
actual assembly or resultant binary, and hopefully -inline makes your program
faster, but what errors you do or don't get and the semantics of your program
should be identical. This is most definitely a bug.
