Created attachment 37449 [details] pkg-config-c99.patch glib-1.2.10 included with pkg-config has incorrect inline handling for C99. According to C99 inline semantics, the inline function is only an alternative that the compiler is allowed to use, but it may call an external definition (which, by implication, must exist) if it chooses. "It is unspecified whether a call to the function uses the inline definition or the external definition". The relevant section in the C99 standard is 6.7.4p6. You can see this failure by using CFLAGS="-std=gnu99". The clang compiler defaults to gnu99 which means this issue will become more prevalent as it gains adoption. A fix is attached.
