gah, that is not C language problem. that's lame.
you forced compiler to check prototypes so do add them. just add prototypes
even in the same .c file if you don't want to pollute your include files.
but if function is used anywhere outside file scope it is proper to describe it
in include file.

or don't use -Wmissing-prototypes.
