My appologies for relying on my memory ;-)

It is the m68k port that has no va_copy, or __va_copy in their libc. It
isn't clear to me just why this is, but this is all based on bug report
#41930.

In any case, when I changed to __va_copy, it became necessary to rebuild
the configure script with autoconf, and this yields the results of
removing essential header files during a clean target. Some ports of the
library have no va_copy but do have __va_copy, although I don't know why
these "features" have been changing from one version to another of libc,
but that seems to be the problem.

Thanks,
