As I understand it, we're not using static inlines in pg_list.h to
prevent multiple objects from exporting the same symbols if the
functions don't end up as 'static inline' (ie, because the compiler
doesn't support that).
In this case, we're only compiling the inlines into a single object, so
even if the compiler doesn't support inlines, we'll just end up with
out-of-line function calls, which should work too.
However, this is only my assumption about those compilers (I don't have
access to other compilers to test); happy to fix these up if the inlines
won't work.
Cheers,
Jeremy
