Sure, it is a missed optimization.  It's even "easy" to fix when you accept
a general compile-time slowdown (just schedule some CSE passes before
inlining).
When you want to avoid the compile-time slowdown then it's not so easy
(it's a usual trade-off with the case where there is no CSE opportunity but
earlier inlining would result in better code).

You can force GCC to not inline the function with using
__attribute__((const,noinline)) (but it of course will then be not
inlined at all).
