The key is spelling:
	-prototype
is taken as -p  (Link with the profiling startup and library).
	-prototypes
is taken to mean ``check prototypes''.

That -prototype is silently interpreted as -p is a bug.

The release 4.0 driver says about -prototype
	cc: Error: malformed or unknown option -prototype
