Anyways, i think we should not make a big deal out of this.

Is it illegal, by any standard, to supply prototypes for main() ?

If not, what is wrong in casually adding them
whenever you happen to touch those files ?

And the problem is not as widespread as Ruslan suggested. Out of
the 40-50 binaries in my picobsd config, only 3 caused -Werror
to block.
