Subject: [PATCH] Portable handling for va_list

The current code wrongly assumes va_list is always implemented as an array. va_list
however is an opaque type, and may also be implemented as a struct, for
example. This patch implements handling of va_list in a platform-independent
way, fixing a FTBFS on alpha and armel.
