G_INLINE_FUNCTION redux?

[Rick Jones <rick jones2 hp com>]

I'm trying to port netperf4 to AIX 5.3.  To that end, I downloaded the 
precompiled glib et al offered by Bull at:

http://gnome.bullfreeware.com/new_index.html

which means I have:

# rpm -qa
cdrecord-1.9-4
mkisofs-1.13-4
AIX-rpm-5.3.0.0-1
wget-1.9.1-1
pkg-config-0.19-2
gettext-0.10.40-5
glib2-2.8.1-2
glib2-devel-2.8.1-2
intltool-0.34.1-1
zlib-1.2.3-1
libxml2-2.6.21-1
zlib-devel-1.2.3-1
libxml2-devel-2.6.21-1

on the system. (some rpms were there already).  Netperf4's configure 
script seems to run just fine.  When I go to build the compiler gets 
rather cranky:

From the look of the include file, I gather it is unhappy with 
G_INLINE_FUNC.

I searched the list archives for the error code "1506-277" without 
success.  A search for G_INLINE_FUNC seems to yield only really old hits.

On the principle of "well try the later version silly" I downloaded 
2.8.6 sources.  They seemed to configure OK (not that i'd really be able 
to tell mind you), when I tried to compile them, that compile went 
belly-up with an internal compiler error. Sigh.

So, I find myself looking for pointers - either on how to address the 
G_INLINE_FUNC thing with Bull's precompiled bits, or if anyone has more 
up-to-date rpms for AIX I suppose.

sincerely,
