Description:
On QNX and on FreeBSD, linking the MySQL server fails with these unresolved references:

rec_get_status
rec_offs_n_fields
dict_index_get_n_fields
dict_index_get_n_unique_in_tree

All these are defined as INLINE functions, and it seems the module with the code is not written in strict bottom-up order. On some of our platforms, this causes failures.

How to repeat:
Try to build 5.0.3-pre.

Suggested fix:
Re-order the INLINE functions in strict bottom-up order.

Error now occurs on other platforms as well, after previous issues were solved.
First example: Pegasos.

Additional info:

For 'rec_get_status' and 'rec_offs_n_fields', this is solved by my changeset 
  1.1753 04/12/27 14:02:30 joerg@mysql.com +1 -0

For 'dict_index_get_n_fields' and 'dict_index_get_n_unique_in_tree', this is still open as we here seem to have mutual dependencies between two files with 'inline' functions, 'rem0rec.ic' and 'dict0dict.ic'.

I have now made the file dict0dict.ic independent on rem0rec.ic. rem0rec.ic still depends on inline functions defined in dict0dict.ic.

The code appears to link properly now.
