If I understand it correctly, that means that clang is not
"compatible" with gcc.

Excerpt from gcc online docs [1]:

  When a function is both inline and static, if all calls to the
  function are integrated into the caller, and the function's address
  is never used, then the function's own assembler code is never
  referenced.

Excerpt from gcc online docs [1]:

  By default, Clang builds C code in GNU C11 mode, so it uses standard
  C99 semantics for the inline keyword. These semantics are different
  from those in GNU C89 mode, which is the default mode in versions of
  GCC prior to 5.0.

However further reading of the second documentation and c89 semantics
it doesn't say anything about the fact that such function should be
inlined.

Anyway, is this clang 3.6 specific?  I don't have this problem when
compiling with 3.5.  Nor does this show with gcc -std=gnu11.  I'm
getting 3.6 to check whether that's the difference.

That's not that mysterious, it's just that we check the order and
clang sorts enums before structs, but gcc doesn't.  Also clang adds
"public:" to structs, so it probably treats it as a C++ or C# structs
or something?

I'm using CFLAGS='-O0 -ggdb -Wno-frame-larger-than=' for this as a
parameter for autogen.sh O:-)
