Extended Description

GCC allows redefinition of an "extern inline" function in GNU89 mode, accepting the following code:

extern inline int f(int a) { return a; }
int f(int b) { return b; }

which Clang rejects with

$ clang -std=gnu89 foo.c
foo.c:3:5: error: redefinition of 'f'
int f(int b) { return b; }
^
foo.c:1:19: note: previous definition is here
extern inline int f(int a) { return a; }
^
2 diagnostics generated.

We previously decided that we would not implement this feature (see bug #​4719), but apparently this extension is used by Wine:

We should reconsider.
