When neither -prototypes not -noprototypes is passed to xsubpp, it will require the XS files to contain a PROTOTYPES statement. This is a compatibility feature that dealt with a breaking change in January 1996, it long stopped having any purpose. Module::Build has disabled it since the very first version that supported XS (0.03 in 2001), and so should we.
