Sure, that's easy.  I plan to incorporate something like the patch
below, which uses -DINLINING=0 to turn it off (default is INLINING=1).

        Use functions, not macros, for XINT etc.
        * configure.ac (WARN_CFLAGS): Remove -Wbad-function-cast,
        as it generates bogus warnings about reasonable casts of calls.
+       (ALWAYS_INLINE): New macro.
+       (inline): Define to 'ALWAYS_INLINE' when compiling with GCC without
+       optimization, and without -DINLINING=0.
