[Bug c/45152] New: LTO breaks C99 inline

[joerg at joergleis dot com]

The C99-code

        inline int f()
        {
            return 5;
        }

        extern inline int f();

is expected to define an externally callable function f. With

        gcc -std=c99 -c test.c

it compiles just fine and emits f. However, with LTO,

        gcc -std=c99 -flto -c test.c

the function f is not emitted.
