Okay.  I think we should be precise here.

The fact inline functions being marked as "exported" causes a problem makes
sense to me because they may not create any exportable symbols in object
files while whether a function being defined in a header file or not
affecting the behavior of compilers/linkers would puzzle me because they're
all combined into a single translation unit.
