This is the right way. When 'static' is defined as function attribute, that
function is threaten as local for that module. So linker assumes, that they
are different, although the local copies of functions are compiled from the
same source.

It is like you copy&paste such function into each source file, so no
performance penalities occurs. It is IMHO the only way how to share
functions which has to be inlined.
