Inlined functions

[Travis Reitter <treitter-dev netdrain com>]

Is it safe to assume that pre-compiled packages for most distros are
compiled with functions in-lined? Do any distros provide information
about the compiler flags used for each package?

If I want to perform fine-grained profiling, should I just recompile the
package I want to profile (and its dependencies) without in-lining? Are
there any other build options I should keep in mind when recompiling
packages to be profiled?
