Ahh, silly me!

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.2.2/gcc/Inline.html#Inline

"When a function is both inline and |static|, if all calls to the 
function are integrated into the caller, and the function's address is 
never used, then the function's own assembler code is never referenced. 
In this case, GCC does not actually output assembler code for the 
function, unless you specify the option |-fkeep-inline-functions|. Some 
calls cannot be integrated for various reasons (in particular, calls 
that precede the function's definition cannot be integrated, and neither 
can recursive calls within the definition). If there is a nonintegrated 
call, then the function is compiled to assembler code as usual. The 
function must also be compiled as usual if the program refers to its 
address, because that can't be inlined."

And its not declared static.
