No.  A macro is not expanded within its own expansion.  See ISO
C99:

     6.10.3.4  Rescanning and further replacement
[...]
2    If the name of the macro being replaced is found during this
     scan of the replacement list (not including the rest of the
     source file's preprocessing tokens), it is not replaced.

If it still bothers you, you could write it as
        #define inline __attribute__ (( always_inline )) __inline__
since GCC accepts __inline__ as a synonym for inline.
