gen-protos doesn't need either obstack.o or alloca.o.  In fact, I
don't think it needs the HOST_LIBS at all.  Try taking $(HOST_LIBS)
off the link line and $(HOST_LIBDEPS) off the dependency line.

If that doesn't work, stick a copy of xmalloc next to the copy of
xrealloc at the bottom of gen-protos.c.
