Can you share the name of those users ?

>From a quick look clang and gcc are ok with this change, although some
versions of the Sun compiler are not. Considering that most programs try
to use c99 and later, might I suggest that you add a trivial wrapper in
your program ? Something along the lines of

#ifndef inline
#define inline __inline
#endif
