GCC 2.1 on hp300bsd (geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu).

The following input:

extern int foobar (void);
extern inline int foobar (void) { return 1; }

bar ()
{
  return foobar ();
}

produces:

foo.c:2: warning: `foobar' declarations disagree about `inline'

This completely defeats the purpose of `extern inline'.
Please fix it.
