You don't want to do this!
A C implementation consists of standard headers, a standard run-time
library, and a compiler.  All parts have to work together, so it is
a mistake to replace just one of them.  In particular, if the compiler
doesn't handle prototypes the headers had better not use them.  If it
does handle prototypes, I would expect the implementation to have used
them in its standard headers.
