Ahh, I just realized that this is specific to g++ resp. the C++ frontend.

markab[232]:~% gcc -Wmissing-prototypes foo.c -c
foo.c:1: warning: no previous prototype for `f'
markab[233]:~% g++ -Wmissing-prototypes foo.c -c
markab[233]:~% gcc -Wmissing-prototypes foo.cc -c
markab[234]:~% /sw/swtest/egcs/bin/g++ -v
Reading specs from /sw/swtest/egcs/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1/egcs-2.92.04/specs
gcc version egcs-2.92.04 19980909 (gcc2 ss-980609 experimental)


According to my reading of the docs, however, this is not a C-only warning.
