No, that doesn't work.
It would only work if keep-inline-functions somehow set
optimize to and flag_inline_functions to zero.
Here's the code:
 /* Build Method array. */
 for (method = TYPE_METHODS (CLASS_TO_HANDLE_TYPE (type));
 method != NULL_TREE; method = TREE_CHAIN (method))
 {
 tree init;
 if (METHOD_PRIVATE (method)
 && (flag_inline_functions || optimize))
 continue;
 init = make_method_value (method);
 method_count++;
 methods = tree_cons (NULL_TREE, init, methods);
 }
