[bug #21378] guile 1.8.3 numbers.c fails to compile in Solaris 9

[David Halik]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #21378 (project guile):

Ah, I see what you're getting at. I've actually run into this before.
"inline" is the correct keyword in suncc, but it is much more strict C99 than
gcc, which is usually the case with Sun Studio. You might want to check out
this post, it explains the different uses of inline related to Sun, C99, GNU,
etc, and their incompatibilities with examples. This isn't my best subject,
but it looks like your question can be answered there.

As far as your configure, it looks like it finds inline ok, Suncc is just not
happy with its usage.

configure:21606: checking for inline
configure:21656: result: inline
ac_cv_c_inline=inline
SCM_I_GSC_C_INLINE='"inline"'

We try to use Suncc whenever possible to avoid gcc lib dependencies across
our platforms and because Suncc ferrets out Sun problems more often, but it is
always possible of course. ;) Thanks for the clarification about the
bugtracker by the way.
