Change "inline* to "__inline__" at stdlib.h:317

"inline" is not a keyword in c89 (c89 is enforced by --ansi switch ).  
 Incidentally, you get the same error message if you run  "make test_headers" on CVS
source.
And even more surprisingly -- this has been broken since 5 May 2098 :(

Remarkable indeed!  Perhaps some future maintainer will address it,
when it breaks in ninety years time :-)

Seriously though, thanks for the tip-off Danny.  Running the test
suite should be mandatory, after any change; however, the test suite
should be invoked as `make check', not by an arbitrary, undocumented
and unusual name, which can only be ascertained by scratching around
in the bowels of Makefile.in -- I did `make check', to be told there
was no rule to do so; therefore, I assumed, incorrectly, that there
was no test suite provided.

Not so remarkable, perhaps, that it has actually been broken since
5-May-2008, but the breakage hasn't been detected until now, because
in the absence of an obvious test suite, CVS may not be exposed to
the same extensive population of testers, as will be a release, and
the recent mingwrt-3.15 is the first release to have included the
change which precipitates this failure, (although, on this occasion,
it does appear to have been reported against CVS, rather than the
actual release).

Regards,
Keith.

Since no one else appears to be taking an interest in fixing this, and
no formal bug report has been filed, I've taken the liberty of making
the appropriate correction in CVS.

I've also modified the Makefile, so that the test suite may now be
invoked conventionally, by `make check' instead of the unconventional
`make test_headers', as I noted in my earlier reply.

Regards,
Keith.
