C99 6.7.4p3 and 6.7.4p6 set some constraints on what can be done in
inline functions and how they can be declared. In particular, any
function declared inline must also be defined in the same translation
unit. To comply with that, remove inline specifiers from function
declarations in header files when the functions are not also defined
in those header files.
Sun Studio 11 on Solaris 9 is stricter than C99 and does not allow
references to static identifiers in extern inline functions. Make the
configure script detect this and define NONSTATIC_INLINE accordingly
in config.h. Then use that in the definitions of all non-static
inline functions.
Document the restrictions and this scheme in doc/hacking.txt.
