Paul, This is the same problem I ran into a few days ago on several platforms, and you helped me come up with this patch: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2005-09/msg00234.html>. The patch in that message also removes a little cruft and handles a similar problem in a later GCC with always_inline, by ignoring __attribute__ for GCC < 3.1.
