OK, I understood the replies so I'll try to sum up: The oxymoron "extern inline" used to have one interpretation before the inline keyword was standardized in C99. In that standardization, a different interpretation for "extern inline" was mandated. The inline/alias trick used by glibc here needs the old interpretation, which should be requested with the gnu_inline attribute. Your version of glibc doesn't specify gnu_inline. So the problem boils down to: your gcc is too new for your glibc. Downgrade one or upgrade the other.
