The idea was to have a linker error in case gcc should deciede for some
reason not to inline this function which as I understand will continue
to be the behaviour of gcc 4.3?


I don't know for this peculiar case but it usually is a good thing to
let gcc decide if the function needs to be inlined or not.

If we really want this function to be inlined in all cases, maybe we
should use __always_inline attribute instead ?
