I'm afraid my previous answer sounds a bit harsh so I'll rephrase:
Actually, I always prepend /extern/ to prototypes declaration in C header files because I believe it to be consistent somehow.
This time, though, it happened because I fixed the bad headers by running a quick and dirty /sed/ command with a simple substitution regex, knowing it wouldn't have done any harm by having the OTP sources coding style changed by that /extern/ for now.

Ciao,
Illo.
