Hey, could you try this patch? I try the USE_CSTD=gnu89 trick if I get
symbol troubles when linking. This is because clang defaults to gnu99
while gcc still defaults to gnu89. From what I remember the inline
keyword has different meanings between the two, or how you use it
atleast. Someone explained it to my last year but I can't remember all
the gory details about it.
