Comments? I'm of course also volunteering to write the patch, provided that
an adept at the new bootstrap (black) magic gives me a clue as to where I
should start. :-)
You just have to write the test in the toplevel configure.in, and place
it just before the AC_SUBST(stage1_cflags).
The maintainers may think it different, but I won't see anything wrong
in having a simpler
if test "$GCC" = yes; then
stage1_cflags="${stage1_cflags} -fkeep-inline-functions"
fi
since most versions of GCC (at least 2.7.2 which is the oldest I ever
used, around 1998 on RH5.2) have the flag.
