Description Daniel Macks 2006-12-21 07:19:12 UTC 
in glib-2.12.4, gutils.h around line 99 uses defined(__GNUC__) as the primary determination for how to define G_INLINE_FUNC. Now gcc has changed the semantics of "inline", such that this is no longer a valid assumption.

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2006-11/msg00006.html

One result is that compiling against glib can fail with multiply-defined symbol errors because the "inline"d symbols are exposed.

Need to use a feature test for the actual behavior of "inline" to decide how to define, rather than assuming a certain behavior of a given compiler or other platform test.

Dupe of #315437 I think.
