FYI, I believe I zap all the libgcc2 prototype warnings in the
following patch:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2000-02/msg00358.html

After "call" prototypes and libgcc2, the only remaining problem stems
from the libiberty.h prototype for basename() and the getopt.h
prototype for getopt().  You won't see it on linux, only on non-glibc
hosts where it backs down to no arguments due to possible argument
type conflicts (mostly with "const".)

I'm slowly encouraging the autoconf people to include something
generic we can use to replace our GCC_NEED_DECLARATION so we can use
it in exported library interfaces.  In the mean time, perhaps we can
stick something in libiberty/aclocal.m4 and coordinate with
gcc/aclocal.m4 until the next autoconf release.  That would allow us
to turn on -Wstrict-prototypes for all hosts, not just glibc ones.
