[Bug bootstrap/14882] New: gcc 3.4.0-pre won't build with non-GCC compilers

[jbuck at gcc dot gnu dot org]

There are two uses of "inline" in the intl directory, one in plural.y and
the other in gettextP.h.  That's not valid C89, so non-GCC compilers (for
example, HP's C compiler) fail to bootstrap gcc.

I'll be attaching a patch shortly.

There is a patch at

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-04/msg00424.html

though Richard H. suggests that this isn't really the right approach (configure
detects that the compiler does not support inline when gcc is configured, but
this test is not performed when we build in the intl directory).

It turns out that this bug is specific to HP's compiler.  The HP compiler
supports "inline" in some contexts but not others.  The intl directory uses a
different test for inline than the gcc directory does, so one thinks the
compiler has inline, the other does not.  The specific uses of inline break HP's cc.

So, my patch will work, though it is ugly.  What it does mean is that the test
for inline in whichever autoconf is in intl will return true on HP, but the
inline keyword is unusable for that compiler even though the test passes.

Fixed in GCC 3.4.0.

(I commited the patch in the PR to the 3.4 branch.)

Apparently, this problem does not exist on the mainline.
