So why isn't it declared "static inline"?
That way, if you compile it with optimisation then gcc will inline it and
not output a separate copy of the function (because it was declared static
and all instances were inlined). If you compile it without optimisation
then gcc will output a copy of the function in every module which uses it
(but apparently not in modules that don't). But that's OK since you didn't
ask for the code to be optimised.
