This looks like something broken in your <stdarg.h> system header.
Did you change compiler, header files, or --with-includes option
compared to your 7.3.2 build? I'm suspicious that the --with-includes
may have pulled in an incorrect definition for va_start et al.
gcc tends to want its own definitions for these macros and can get
indigestion from the vendor definitions ...
