Bootstrap with -Wmissing-prototypes doesn't work for C++

[Joe Buck]

I'm confused. Since C++ treats the lack of a prototype as a hard error, what does it mean to make -Wmissing-prototypes useless?

Since -Wmissing-prototypes doesn't work for C++, using
C++ to bootstrap GCC makes -Wmissing-prototypes useless.
You will see the -Wmissing-prototypes message in stage 1,
but you won't see it in stage3 2/3.
