Fix how? Unless I'm very much confused, this would require configure to
create 2 new headers, containing lines like those below for every function
that was in a header but did not link, AND then wrapping every include of
system headers in every source file with #include "begin-system-madness.h"
... #include "end-system-madness.h".
Example begin-system-madness.h:
#define func1 __autoconf_func1_does_not_link
#define func2 __autoconf_func2_does_not_link
#define func3 __autoconf_func3_does_not_link
Example end-system-madness.h:
#undef func1
#undef func2
#undef func3
Do you really intend to do that?

Isn't this the first time anyone has reported these problem prototypes
messing up a compile?
(NB: I mean breaking a compile that would have otherwise worked, instead of
simply delaying failiure to the link stage).
Max.
