Hi Rob!

at first it looked to me that the trouble did come with the double 
quotes enclosing the -I options in v0.51.
but looking at the two generated commandlines I had a 2nd thought!

v0.48:

gcc
  -c
  -I/root/peter/inline_fails_to_compile
  -I /opt/perl5.12.2.debug/lib/site_perl/5.12.2/i86pc-solaris/Event
  -I/usr/local/include
  -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.5/include
  -DDEBUGGING
  -fno-strict-aliasing
  -pipe
  -fstack-protector
  -I/usr/local/include
  -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
  -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
  -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV
  -g
  -DVERSION=\"0.00\"
  -DXS_VERSION=\"0.00\"
  -fPIC
  "-I/opt/perl5.12.2.debug/lib/5.12.2/i86pc-solaris/CORE"
compile_test_2_t_a7b1.c

v0.51:

gcc
  -c
  -I"/root/peter/inline_fails_to_compile"
  "-I /opt/perl5.12.2.debug/lib/site_perl/5.12.2/i86pc-solaris/Event"
  -I/usr/local/include
  -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.5/include
  -DDEBUGGING
  -fno-strict-aliasing
  -pipe
  -fstack-protector
  -I/usr/local/include
  -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
  -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
  -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV
  -g
  -DVERSION=\"0.00\"
  -DXS_VERSION=\"0.00\"
  -fPIC
  "-I/opt/perl5.12.2.debug/lib/5.12.2/i86pc-solaris/CORE"
compile_test_1_t_a7b1.c

wondering about the two identical include options for the perl CORE headers?

so I gave it another try:

Sun-A3 root 290/0

in fact it's the space(!) and not the double quotes!

i.e.

"-I /opt/perl5.12.2.debug/lib/site_perl/5.12.2/i86pc-solaris/Event"

vs.

"-I/opt/perl5.12.2.debug/lib/site_perl/5.12.2/i86pc-solaris/Event"

cheers, peter
