This is explained in detail in the GCC docs, in the section named 
"Inline".  Please read it, the issue is too complex to explain here.

The compiler cannot inline functions defined in another source file.  The 
GCC docs explain the details.

It's in the v2gnu/egcs directory on the usual DJGPP sites.

There are none ;-).

Seriously, though: go to http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/bugs/ and see for 
yourself: the list of unsolved bugs includes only 4 reports, all of them 
either extremely obscure or pertain to rare curcumstances and 
unmaintained packages.

It is usually much better to ask here if you see something that looks 
like a bug.
