`Advice' on built-in functions/forms (like setq and setq-default) only
works for calls from lisp, not on calls made from C code.
Maybe the easiest thing to do is run gdb on your emacs (assuming you've
compiled it from source), put a breakpoint on Fset or Fset_default, and
make the breakpoint conditional on the symbol being `fill-prefix'.
[Probably the easiest way to make the breakpoint conditional on the
symbol being `fill-prefix' is to intentionally call setq yourself from
lisp after you've added the unconditional breakpoint, and when gdb hits
the breakpoint, make sure it's the correct symbol (using the special
emacs gdb command `xprintsym symbol'), and if so, just look at the C
value for the `symbol' argument and then use `cond symbol == ...' (where
... is the value gdb printed).]
