I didn't dig any deeper then what I have written already for icu as we |
| 9 |
have another test case provided in bug 151832. Basically gcc shouldn't |
| 10 |
inline the function or at least provide a callable symbol because its |
| 11 |
address is used later on (in the same file, even), which is what we |
| 12 |
found in the gcc documentation but not in the code ;) |

So yes, it IS a toolchain-bug, but one the gcc-4.1 users share (gcc 3.4 |
| 15 |
works correctly apparently) :D |
