It'd be a real hassle to declare every inline function twice,
just to pacify older GCCs.  (When this issue comes up with Emacs,
the usual advice is "don't use --enable-gcc-warnings if your
GCC is older than the latest version".)

Since it's just GCC, can you use "gcc --version" to decide whether
to use -Wmissing-prototypes?
