This seems to be well-known but is not yet on the regression list. When building the kernel for alpha using gcc 4.4, many files will provoke these warnings: arch/alpha/include/asm/io.h: In function '__set_hae': arch/alpha/include/asm/io.h:41: warning: 'arch_local_irq_save' is static but used in inline function '__set_hae' which is not static arch/alpha/include/asm/io.h:49: warning: 'arch_local_irq_restore' is static but used in inline function '__set_hae' which is not static and because the alpha makefiles include -Werror in CFLAGS, this is fatal.

How's that look?
(In reply to comment #2) > How's that look? I don't think it's as simple as that - there are a lot of callers to set_hae() that would also need to be static inline. Here's the discussion thread I found: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.alpha/1218
Well what does "extern inline logic is crucial for generic kernel build" mean? The alpha kernel builds and links OK for me with that patch and older gcc.
