I have found some problems with using inline operators and I think that it
might be a bug.
This bug can only be seen in projects, so my example program has 3 files :
****** file bug1lib.h ******
  class cA { public : inline void operator +(int); } ;
****** file bug1lib.cc *******
  #include "bug1lib.h"
  inline void cA::operator +(int) { };
****** bug1m.cc ******
  #include "bug1lib.h"
  int main() { cA a;  a+2; }

After building this project I get output like this :
  Compiling: bug1lib.cc   no errors
  Compiling: bug1m.cc   no errors
  Creating: bug1.exe
   Error: bug1m.o: In function `main':
  Error: bug1m.cc(.text+0x10): undefined reference to `cA::operator+(int)'
  Error: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

After removing inline from bug1lib.cc & bug1lib.h everything is working
correct.
