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.
