We are not always going to be tied to gcc so anything that makes
it harder to port to a non-GNU compilers is not a good thing.  Leaving
macros like RTEMS_INLINE_ROUTINE in place was done to allow
use of different compilers.  When added, we could still be compiled
with non-GNU compilers.

We already have bsp_specs which need to go away.  They
are strictly gcc-isms and non-standard.

I am in the experimentation and investigation stage of compiling
RTEMS with non-gcc compilers. Please do not tie us to gcc
any tighter than we already are.
