I don't know. I'm on a 9600bps GSM line and I don't have the C standard here. The va_list is probably some weird data type on those archs which cannot be assigned, only va_copy'd. But I can't file it as a compiler bug unless I know it violates the standard. You're very welcome to reply to the bug and/or file a compiler bug yourself if you think it is.
