(PR#7257) Re: [Rd] bzip2 directory won't build on OSF1 due to C99 code and -std1 option

Specifically it uses the inline keyword. I do not believe that is
supported by a strict C89 compiler.

Please accept my apologies for an inadequate bug report. This might
make things easier to understand:

Well I'm not going to posit any hypotheses or note that inlining won't
work on this platform if the -std1 option is uesd. ;-)

I'll just have to live with that :-)
