Hi there,
I have to build gcc (and egcs) on various systems including very old
ones, where the /usr/include files don't contain many prototypes. My
question now is: Is there any good reason for the prototypes generated
by fix-header to be bracketed by
#if defined(__USE_FIXED_PROTOTYPES__) ...
...
#endif
In the past I removed this particular check and had no trouble with
it. Would it be possible to emit them without this particular
dependency? What do you think?
Best wishes
