The varargs.h way of handling variable function arguments is broken
in -CURRENT.  Apparently GCC3.3 doesn't support this any longer.
Probably <varargs.h> will be discontinued and reduced to an #error
pointing to <stdarg.h>.

All ports that still rely on varargs.h are broken on -CURRENT!  This
should mostly concern old, unmaintained software since varargs has
been obsoleted and superseded by stdarg for years.  These ports
need to be converted.  varargs and stdarg are not quit compatible,
see stdarg(3).
