I'm assuming this is C, albeit, GNU C, gcc.  Did you have a header file
containing the prototype :

extern __inline__ function ();

and that header is included when needed.

BTW, inline functions really work in gcc, when optimization is
turn on.  In C++, IIRC, any methods define in the class are inline
by default.
