The following is either a bug in gcc or a bug in its documentation.
I suspect the latter.  I'm using gcc2.2.

When a function is defined as 'inline' but optimization is not
selected, the function is NOT inlined.  Presumably this is an aid to
debugging.  It's reasonable behavior, but it is completely undocumented.

I suggest that an appropriate paragraph be placed in the Inline info
node, as this behaviour was a surprise to me, and I spent a while
thinking that inline was completely broken before I figured out what
was wrong.  I won't venture to suggest the text of the paragraph
because I'm not absolutely certain I understand the exact conditions under
which `inline'-declared functions are actually inlined.

Thanks,
John
