Though very useful, the BDECFLAGS are a bit old.
The problem here is that inline is a C99 feature, while the BDECFLAGS
contain the -ansi switch, which rejects all programs not conforming with
the C90 standard.
I'm sure that inline is not the only thing of FreeBSD which isn't
conforming to ansi C (not to say that's a bad thing).

As a remark, I would suggest not only to use them in developing FreeBSD,
but also in developing /*on*/ FreeBSD.
