Actually, all the similar functions in this file do have
their prototype.  See for instance xnrealloc which is
right above.

/* Change the size of an allocated block of memory P to an array of N
   objects each of S bytes, with error checking.  S must be nonzero.  */

XALLOC_INLINE void *xnrealloc (void *p, size_t n, size_t s)
                    _GL_ATTRIBUTE_ALLOC_SIZE ((2, 3));
XALLOC_INLINE void *
xnrealloc (void *p, size_t n, size_t s)
{
  if (xalloc_oversized (n, s))
    xalloc_die ();
  return xrealloc (p, n * s);
}

So it looks like the file was ready to prototype these functions.

And really, while I can understand that -Werror is a PITA for
gnulib's *.c files, I find it bizarre to accept warnings in
gnulib's public *.h files :(  But then, Ok, I will use your
macro for Bison, thanks!
