I believe extern inline should be added to the issues list.  Typical 
implementations rely on ABI-level actions such as using COMDAT sections
(which aren't in the IA-64 base ABI) or weak definitions or reusing
the template instantiation mechanism.  How to handle local statics
within extern inlines is also an ABI-level detail.

(I think this is different from the G-3 "Inlined routine linkage"
item already on the list.)
