I tracked down the breakage to the following use case:
If you have two functions defined via defsubst -- calling the first
function from within the second causes a byte compile error. Appears to
be independent of lexical scoping. If interested I can email out a file
showing the breakage.
Also, looking at define-inline and the comments in that file, I see that
we dont appear to have a prefered/recommended solution to writing
functions that should be in-lined -- might be worth getting that fixed.
According to that file, defsubst and cl-defsubst appear to have
different issues with each --- though defsubst at least fo rmy use-case
has worked well for 20+ years.
emacspeak has a lot of defsubst forms that go back a long time, and I
tried a patch where I changed all defsubst forms to defun --- that
inexplicably led to build failures that I could not explain ---
essentially the build system started loading all of emacspeak to build
each individual file.
