Maybe it's best to not add yet another fork. I just managed to
dis-entangle myself from maintaining some trees and wouldn't wish that on
anyone else. A single config option that adds -fno-inline wouldn't be
fork-worthy.

As for extremists complaining... I think you'd just give them a target and
a forum rather than quiet them.
