Description

Optimized builds with recent versions of gcc produce thousands of inlining warnings. See:

$ gunzip -c linux_redhat_el-5.0-em64t-gcc-4.1.1-12d-639851-log.gz | grep "inlining failed" | wc -l
4191

We should at least make an effort to silence those coming out of library headers (e.g., by applying #pragma GCC system_header but we might want to review them first to see if they could be used to optimize our code.
