I think this is the right option, though, probably, we should be using a
build->target fixproto, rather than doing nothing. (Just like we run
the build->target compiler to build libgcc.)
In any case, I'd imagine that whatever do for fixincludes also applies
to these programs; it seems like it should be built and run in the same way.
For Canadian crosses, we have:
if test "x$TARGET_SYSTEM_ROOT" = x; then
if test "x$STMP_FIXPROTO" != x; then
STMP_FIXPROTO=stmp-install-fixproto
fi
fi
I'm not sure what the TARGET_SYSTEM_ROOT check is doing there; I'd think
that ought to be unconditional, given the current Makefile.

Hmm. A lot of the *-elf targets have use_fixproto=yes in config.gcc,
which somewhat surpises me; I'd have thought newlib didn't require that.
