Propose to stop using fixproto immediately:

I'm not even sure exactly what fixproto is supposed to do, but I
*highly* doubt that it is needed for the AVR target. The AVR target is
an embedded processor that uses it's own C library, avr-libc:
<http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/avr-libc/>
So there aren't any "old system headers" around. The RTEMS target for
the AVR *may* use newlib, but I don't what the status of that is. Ralf
or Joel would have to chime in on this aspect.
The AVR target no longer uses fixincludes anyway. If there are any
problems with the headers, we should be able fix them directly in avr-libc.
