My goal is not to have to change the source code.

Hmm, reading the C/C++ Language Reference indicates inline as a function declarator is a C++ addition so I took you previous example code and compiled that using the C++ compiler (source type CPP) and that changed the error. Now it complains about the prototype and the function not matching. Adding static inline to the prototype fixed that.

So you need to ensure:

a) You use the C++ compiler
b) Prototypes and functions match

Regarding b) some compilers are less rigourous than the ILE C/C++ compiler and may tolerate mismatches between prototypes and function declarations. Welcome to the joy of porting C/C++ to different platforms.
