Currently it will _always_ inline functions declared `inline', if
optimisation is on. That means the out of line ones are simply wasting
space.
How about declaring __frob_control `static inline', which gives the
assurance that things will work if the compiler strategy changes, but
doesn't waste space given how we know things are at the moment?
