If it doesn't work, then something should be done about it in gdb.
Hiding the inlines altogether from the debugger is undesirable, it is
better if the debugger has choice what to do, still the default should
be that it ignores the artificial inlines in the backtraces as well as when
stepping through, e.g. glibc headers use artificial attribute heavily
for inlines which are of no interest to users to step through too.
