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?

If that's the intention, please use __always_inline instead.


In C99 (and therefore in gcc >= 4.3), "extern inline" means that the
function should be compiled inline where the inline definition is seen,
and that the compiler should also emit a copy of the function body with
an externally visible symbol.

You don't want this.
