I am on going to prepare (btw would that I make you or p-l ml list in CC

hmm I found well severall cmd line parameter concerning inline stuff and
I was first tempted to test
-finline-limit=225000 (doesn't help)
-finline-limit=120000 (doesn't help more)
too bad :-(

and no more help with -fno-implicit-templates and/or -fno-implicit-inline-templates.

The only help is -fno-default-inline (i suppose that -fno-inline also) but
seems to me a bit like -O1.

Thanks again,
    Joel
