Confirmed. A profoundly unhelpful feature. It triggers on this simple code:
---------------------------
int foo(void);

int main() {
   return foo();
}
---------------------------
3.3 and 3.4 warn like this:
g/x> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-3.4-pre/bin/c++ x.cc -O3 -Winline -c
x.cc: In function `int main()':
x.cc:1: warning: inlining failed in call to `int foo()'
x.cc:4: warning: called from here

Warning about functions for which no definition is visible doesn't
make much sense.
