[issue405] AIX C compiler does not recognise inline keyword

[James Bostock]

New submission from James Bostock <james.bostock at gmail.com>:

AIX's C compiler does not recognise the inline keyword so, when compiling
bdiff.c, one sees this:

"mercurial/bdiff.c", line 62.1: 1506-277 (S) Syntax error: possible missing ';'
or ','?
"mercurial/bdiff.c", line 61.8: 1506-485 (S) Parameter declaration list is
incompatible with declarator for inline.
"mercurial/bdiff.c", line 69.29: 1506-221 (S) Initializer must be a valid
constant expression.
...

Adding the following (a la what has been done for HP-UX) allows compilation to
succeed:

> hg diff mercurial/bdiff.c
diff -r c136c28a425a mercurial/bdiff.c
