So can you imagine any possible circumstance in which having a
prototyped and/or ISO stub would be a problem for an actual
embedded system developer today?  The only example I can synthesize
involves somebody that can only use GDB with one of Sun's old compilers
adapted for embedded use, but not GCC.  That's pretty farfetched though,
and I've never heard of an actual case like that.
