Honza added the flag_inline_functions test to query if RTL
inliners are enabled. However, most languages are converting
flag_inline_functions into flag_inline_trees. The current test
essentially queries: "Is RTL inlining enabled". My test adds: "Is Tree
inlining disabled". We might only need the latter.
Without flag_inline_functions enabled and WITHOUT optimization,
the compilation deferral is performing dead function elimination. The
Fortran front-end is relying on that behavior because it did not emit the
global data symbols referenced by the dead function code.
