I'll try and look at it.   I didn't really understand what was going
on, but then I found this discussion on gcc inline and c99:
  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2006-11/msg00006.html

yuck, what a standards mess gcc got itself into.   The Apple version
of gcc with -std=c99 (or -std=gnu99) follows the c99 standard 
("extern inline") generates a T text symbol, where as the netbsd gcc 
does not.   My reading of that message seems to indicate that 
netbsd gcc is doing the wrong thing according to the standard?

this also relates to why emulators/simh VAX doesn't compile on
my macbook.
