gen-protos.c isn't a generator file.  It is part of the fixproto 
program.  This causes a link error for any target that uses fixproto, as 
the gen-protos program has no definition of fancy_abort.

This won't show up with a linux build, as linux does not build fixproto. 
 You can reproduce this with a cross compiler build to  any newlib 
using target.  Or you can create a temporary linux build tree, cd into 
the gcc directory, and do "make stmp-fixproto" in it.

aretha$ make stmp-fixproto
...
gcc   -g -DIN_GCC   -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes 
-Wmissing-prototypes  -fno-common   -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DGENERATOR_FILE  -o
