You've just hit the gcc thinks it's smarter than you are bug.

net/core/rtnetlink.c:extern __inline__ int rtnetlink_rcv_skb(struct sk_buff *skb)

gcc 3.3 decides to not believe you want this function inlined.  probably
the right fix for this is to make this function static inline (you can
drop the `__' around inline, it's not necessary).  This is also the case
for linux 2.5.
