Thats caused mainly because of the extraflags given by --enable-debug, but
they are given for a reason, so fixing these is a good idea.

Ok, all of these should be fixed with my recent commit - basically the code
should not contain any gccisms (so I replaced them). Using inline is special:
there will be a glib like configure test in the future (which should enable
inline with most C compilers). Temporarily, I put

#if defined(__GNUC__)
#define inline __inline__
#else
#define inline /* no inline */
#endif

which should work with any compiler.

Of course not. The goal is to get this to compile everywhere where KDE
compiles right now.
