This led to problems on OSX 10.9 Mavericks. I didn't notice because I 
normally use a real gcc. The native /usr/bin/gcc is now clang (used to 
be llvm-gcc), and we currently get this build failure:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

       _DynamicFunc__crypt_md5 in dynamic_fmt.o
       _DynamicFunc__POCrypt in dynamic_fmt.o

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see

There is no warning or complaint about the macro preceeding the linking 
failure but apparently the extra "inline" makes clang drop the whole 
function without notice.

Do you have a suggestion? Otherwise I'll revert to the #if we used in 
Jumbo before, and add an __INTEL_COMPILER check to solve the icc 
problem. Maybe like this (untested):

#ifdef __GNUC__
#if __GNUC__ > 4 || (__GNUC__ == 4 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 7) || 
defined(__INTEL_COMPILER)
#define MAYBE_INLINE __attribute__((always_inline)) inline
#elif __GNUC__ > 3 || (__GNUC__ == 3 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 1)
#define MAYBE_INLINE __attribute__((always_inline))
#else
#define MAYBE_INLINE __inline__
#endif
#elif __STDC_VERSION__ >= 199901L
#define MAYBE_INLINE inline
#else
#define MAYBE_INLINE
#endif
