Does the code below compiles ok on your host? 
(just `gcc test.c -o test` should be fine).

#include <stdarg.h>

int foo(int x, ...) {
    va_list va;
    va_start(va, x);
    va_arg(va, int);
    va_arg(va, char *);
    va_arg(va, double);
    return 0;
}
int main() { return foo(10, "", 3.14); }

Yes, the code supplied compiles just fine.

Somehow, when compiling php, it tries to pick up the varargs 
header instead of the stdarg one.

varargs.h contains just the following, leading to the 
messages reported earlier:

#ifndef _VARARGS_H
#define _VARARGS_H

#error "GCC no longer implements <varargs.h>."
#error "Revise your code to use <stdarg.h>."

#endif
 [2005-10-26 09:52 UTC] tony2001@php.net 
Yes, varargs.h contains the same here (Linux).
Please put your config.log somewhere and paste the URL here.

Please try this patch:
http://tony2001.phpclub.net/dev/tmp/bug34977.diff
Remove config.cache and run ./buildconf && ./configure again after applying it.
 [2005-10-26 14:57 UTC] ralph at cs dot cf dot ac dot uk 
Yes, this patch fixes the compilation bug.

Just to be safe I also checked that the compiled snapshot now 
passes most of the tests, too.

Thanks.

[I have now removed my config.log file.]

Jani, could you plz check the patch?
thanks.

Antony, if it works just commit. I can't test it right now, but I don't see any problems with the change either.
 [2005-10-26 15:52 UTC] tony2001@php.net
