The purpose of those places is to provide out-of-line versions of the 
inline functions from one specific header that is included after the 
definition of __USE_EXTERN_INLINES.  Thus those places already require 
extern inline functions in fact to be supported and would fail to build if 
using a compiler not supporting them.
