With regards to the gperf generated source, there seems to be a problem 
with the use of "__gnu_inline__" in these files:

ColorData.c
CSSPropertyNames.cpp
CSSValueKeywords.c
DocTypeStrings.cpp
HTMLEntityNames.c

When building a debug build, GCC 4.3.3 on Haiku generates linker errors for 
the functions that are declared __gnu_inline__. I believe the GCC behavior 
is probable correct and the whole block for declaring those functions 
should be wrapped in "#ifdef NDEBUG ... #endif".

I have grepped all the source tree and couldn't figure out how 
"__gnu_inline__" even ends up in those files. Perhaps it's gperf itself 
adding it? If so, how can it be tweaked to work correctly with debug builds?

Best regards,
