This looks like a specific example of the general issue of being able to run when relocated.

The bug is from 2006. In 2014, Inline's M30_error_no_obj function (which will get called in the code the proposed patch wants to not run) gives instructions on how to allow a new compile of the inline code.

I propose that the correct way to deal with the problem the requestor was having is to either make PAR create suitable 'auto' directories so Inline can find what it's looking for, or update the modules that use inline code to not disable the rebuilding.
