What's the deal with MD_CALL_PROTOTYPES ?

So I'm prototyping stuff in insn-* and I notice that the macro
MD_CALL_PROTOTYPES wraps gen_call() and gen_call_value() in
insn-flags.h. The docs says this:
> `MD_CALL_PROTOTYPES'
> Define this if you wish to generate prototypes for the `gen_call'
> or `gen_call_value' functions generated from the machine

So I was wondering can it be removed? Judging from the insn-flags.h
vs insn-emit.c output, it looks like Irix6 gets it right, but not
solaris2.
How hard is it to fix this? Can we move ahead with nuking the macro?
