I was able to reproduce the bug with on SUSE 7.3. For some reason
functions that are declared 'inline NOEXPORT' won't get compiled at
all. It might be a problem of the gcc 2.95.3 being SUSE-specific
but I'm not sure yet.

Meanwhile as a quick'n'dirty fix you can switch off 
'Generate inline code' (make menuconfig ->  'Kernel Debugging' ) 
then it will at least compile although you get a slower kernel.

Upgrading SuSE would already help. I had no problems at all compiling 
Fiasco on a SUSE  8.1 system.
