There are a few prototypes of functions with no arguments that do not have

Thanks for the report.
In readline.h on line 410:
extern int rl_message ();
should be:
extern||int||rl_message||(void);
This was there in the #else branch to support compilers that don't have
varargs or stdarg (how long has it been since we've seen one of those?),
and readline dropped support for non-stdarg non-ISO C functions a while
back. It's been gone for a while in the devel branch, part of a big
overhaul that dropped support for pre C89 compilers.
In rltypedefs.h lines 34-44:
#if defined(__GNUC__) || defined(__clang__)||
typedef||int||Function||()||__attribute__((|deprecated|));||
typedef||void||VFunction||()||__attribute__((|deprecated|));||
typedef||char||*CPFunction||()||__attribute__((|deprecated|));||

#else||
typedef||int||Function||();||
typedef||void||VFunction||();||
typedef||char||*CPFunction||();||
typedef||char||**CPPFunction||();||

should be:
#if defined(__GNUC__) || defined(__clang__)||
typedef||int||Function||(void)||__attribute__((|deprecated|));||
typedef||void||VFunction||(void)||__attribute__((|deprecated|));||
typedef||char||*CPFunction||(void)||__attribute__((|deprecated|));||

These typedefs are also for functions that take an unknown number of
parameters, and exist only to support very old applications built against
readline (no readline code has used those typedefs since readline-4.2,
which was released in 2001). I should probably remove them in the next
major version release, even though it's only an API change -- they've been
deprecated for quite a while.
