Nathanael changed the default here: 2003-09-30 Nathanael Nerode <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * config.gcc: Default use_fixproto to 'no'. He changed every target which didn't explicitly have fixproto=no to say fixproto=yes. So the question is why, before his change, those *-elf targets didn't have an explicit fixproto=no, and I'm sure the answer is simply laziness and/or lack of knowledge. fixproto is more or less a no-op when run on modern header files, so it's not like anybody would notice anything even in cases where it did run.
