Ha, so I wondered why did you see this error, and I did not when testing
my patch, commit 3398af6aa352b0611bc9d66aed72080a876e42d4?  Next I
wondered, why missing prototypes only for these three functions?  This
lead to the answer: depending on which RPCs are defined on the Mach or
Hurd side, MIG will generate different sets of stub functions (and
respective prototypes in the *_S.h header file).  We recently added some
new RPCs to the Hurd, and I also added the respective stubs to GDB in my
recent patch -- in my build, the prototypes come from the *_S.h header
file, but not in yours, as you're using a toolchain that does not define
these RPCs (no worries, they're of no use for GDB).

Yes, this looks fine, thanks!
