C compiler question

I am having a problem with the MIPS C compiler.  When I compile,
I use the command cc -acpp -prototypes -p0.  The p0 is there because
the C compiler seems to get confused and generates profiling info.
The main problem is that the -prototype option doesn't work correctly.
There are no warnings generated when I compile code in which the 
function prototype does not match its definition!  I can get by with
just the acpp preprocessor for my macros, but function prototyping
provides a very powerful way to keep your code healthy.

Any comments?  When is MIPS C going to be real C (i.e. ANSI)?
