Using config.h defines should really be avoided whenever possible,
and preferably reserved entirely for things set by autoconf checks.

Unless there is a special reason I am overlooking, please revert this:

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.in: Define HAVE_INLINED_SYSCALLS.
	* config.h.in: Add entry for HAVE_INLINED_SYSCALLS.

and instead put #define HAVE_INLINED_SYSCALLS into sysdep.h files.


Thanks,
Roland

The reason for using config.h is to not requiring to include sysdep.h in
files where it is not needed.  That is a potentially quite expensive to
use header.  And I honestly don't see problems with using config.h.  I
think such general platform-specific defines are indeed well kept in
this file.
