yes, the report got long ...

I don't think so:

2002-07-15  Zack Weinberg  <zack@codesourcery.com>

        * ginclude/varargs.h: Replace with stub which issues #error.
        * ginclude/stdarg.h: __builtin_stdarg_start is renamed
        __builtin_va_start.

[...]

        * doc/invoke.texi, doc/sourcebuild.texi, doc/tm.texi,
        doc/trouble.texi: Remove references to GCC-provided <varargs.h>.
