Things like various dev/ headers aren't a problem per se since they
only use "inline" in #ifdef _KERNEL instances. If you're writing
highly NetBSD specific userland code that grovels stuff deep enough
that you need to #define _KERNEL in a userland program, you can be
expected to make tiny sacrifices like not compiling with -ansi. :)

I'm unaware of any instances of "inline" that now exist that aren't
protected by #ifdef _KERNEL or otherwise "kernel only" header files --
if there are any, they are mistakes (either in that the code should be
#ifdef _KERNEL or because I missed fixing them back.)
