I did nothing of the sort in fact when i implemented them as functions as
per the spec VLC was compiling fine and did not need to use its own version
as Autotools detected the functions correctly.
The point that I'm making is that they have now settled on inline and I
can't change it.

This makes less sense than the patch I proposed especially in terms of
backwards compatibility for those not on 4.x but none the less I will
create a patch to do this.
