I am building a cross-compiler to generate mips code.  I need little
endian convention on the R-3000 series cpu.  I used mips-dec-bsd
because that fills the bill and gives me the a.out object format that
I also need for the simulator I am using until we get real hardware.
The application is firmware for a mips r3000 standard cell on a custom
asic chip, so we will be using the simulator a lot -- we want it to
work when we go to silicon.

Anyway, when I compile C++ code in a little test file that only uses
one class defined in a header file, I cannot get 'inline' to work for
the member functions.  The info text for gcc says that member
functions should automatically get inlined.  They don't!  I even tried
-finline-functions on the gcc command line.  This last trick DID get
the functions I declared in the main.cc file to become inlined, but
the member function are still getting jal-ed to in the assembler
source code output by -S.  

These are quite short functions that just insert or remove a node from
a linked list.  I don't understand what I could be doing wrong.  Does
anybody here have any ideas about this?
