Well, it was just a general topic, but while we're talking on this specifically: by definition there can't be false positives for -Wstrict-prototypes. And the reason for them being turned on is (iirc) that the incorrect prototypes cause ABI issues (parameters passed incorrectly) and crashes. Therefore if we support an architecture where is indeed an ABI problem (think SLE), then we should weed them out of the source. Note that I'm not advocating to do that now - evaluation of the fallout has to happen first (in BETA IMHO). I just said that rather than implementing the failure in the autobuild check, it should be triggered by using the right gcc option for it.
