Thanks for the suggestion!

Nothing breaks and the warnings are silenced. It seems we could use
this if there is a stong opposition against having warnings on unused
static inline functions in .c files.

Still I am not convinced that gcc's behavior is preferable in this
case. True, it saves us from adding a bunch of __maybe_unused or
#ifdefs, on the other hand the warning is a useful tool to spot truly
unused code. So far about 50% of the warnings I looked into fall into
this category.
