Even better:  with enough inlining turned on, the differences /disappear/
(jump labels being the exception).  But then so do nearly all of the
function calls.  I was hoping to speed things up in the case where the user
still wants to retain debugging information.  And I will be the first to
admit that this is not a very important case.

Between this, and Nathan Sidwell's response to
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2002-07/msg00051.html, my suggestion is,
"Keep up the great inlining work!"  :-)
