Static inline functions in .h files will be added to each and every .c
example preprocessor output for rte_pci.c which includes rte_common.h:

# 231 "/home/pavan/Work/clean/dpdk/build/include/rte_common.h"
extern int RTE_BUILD_BUG_ON_detected_error;
# 249 "/home/pavan/Work/clean/dpdk/build/include/rte_common.h"
static inline uint32_t __attribute__((deprecated("Symbol is not yet part of stable ABI"), section(".text.experimental")))
rte_combine32ms1b(register uint32_t x)
{
 x |= x >> 1;
 x |= x >> 2;
 x |= x >> 4;
 x |= x >> 8;
 x |= x >> 16;

 return x;
}
# 271 "/home/pavan/Work/clean/dpdk/build/include/rte_common.h"
static inline uint64_t
rte_combine64ms1b(register uint64_t v)
{
 v |= v >> 1;
 v |= v >> 2;
 v |= v >> 4;
 v |= v >> 8;
 v |= v >> 16;
 v |= v >> 32;

 return v;
}

Which causes compiler to throw error as DALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API is not added
to cflags.
