Hi Bruno,

Okay.  And the autoconf 2.13 test for ac_cv_c_line tests only
for "inline".  But gettext uses both "inline" and "static inline".

So when an autoconf 2.13 "configure" script runs into a compiler
that supports "inline" but not "static inline", the bug happens.

With Travis Heppe's HP-UX compiler, "static inline unsigned int ..."
with a plain type works, and "static inline nls_uint32 ..."
does not work.  But with the compiler I have, neither form works.

  $ cat si-1.c
  static inline unsigned int add (unsigned int a, unsigned int b)
  {
    return a + b;
  }

  $ cc -S si-1.c
  cc: "si-1.c", line 1: error 1000: Unexpected symbol: "unsigned".

This is the part that helps me.
