We had this for a short time but then see
2009-02-24 Richard Guenther <rguent...@suse.de>
PR c++/39242
* pt.c (instantiate_decl): Do not instantiate extern, non-inline
declared functions.
thus, if the functions would be marked inline we should still instantiate them
(otherwise we run into standard conformance issues like in that PR).
I also seem to remember that we hide implementation details of these functions
to be able to change them without breaking the ABI. But Paolo likely knows
more.
