gnome-pim compile failure: is this a bug in gnome-pim or glib?

[Joe Drew <hoserhead woot net>]

I'm the maintainer (well, adopter) of gnome-pim for Debian, and have thus
far been unable to even compile version 1.4.0. It comes down to this error:

Something is wrong with glib, specifically with respect to 'inline' vs
'static inline'. 

Please note that we're using gcc 2.95.4 20010319 (A debian prerelease);
this could have something to do with it.
