As mingw32ce is for developpping native applications (according to the website), i think that it is not good to provide function declarations that are not used, and more, it is useless and can lead to compilation errors (like I had). It took me a long time to understand why. A long time because i had to see if the problems come from unsupported functions with win ce or bug in mingw32ce. Do what you want with cegcc, but i don't think it's a good idea to keep them in mingw32ce.
