Subject[patch resend] compiler, clang: suppress warning for unused static inline functions
GCC explicitly does not warn for unused static inline functions for
-Wunused-function. The manual states:

Warn whenever a static function is declared but not defined or
a non-inline static function is unused.

Clang does warn for static inline functions that are unused.

It turns out that suppressing the warnings avoids potentially complex
#ifdef directives, which also reduces LOC.

Suppress the warning for clang.

This is a resend of my patch from http://marc.info/?t=149565969200006
that did not seem to end very productively, but I'm not in a position to
insist.
