It shouldn't be too far out though.

I've got around to the proper bug fix so bare with me. Firstly, replace all the current VA_COPY declaration statements in include/common.h with: #ifdef HAVE___VA_COPY #define VA_COPY __va_copy #elif defined(HAVE_VA_COPY) #define VA_COPY va_copy #else #define VA_COPY(x, y) x = y #endif Secondly, in configure.ac line 281: AC_CHECK_FUNCS([times index rindex setlinebuf]) Change to: AC_CHECK_FUNCS([times index rindex setlinebuf va_copy __va_copy]) Thirdly, re-generate the rage2 autoconf. For this just execute ./config -a. You will see: persephone$ ./config -a Rebuilding configure... done! Rebuilding include/setup.h.in... done! From here, do a make distclean to erase any junk and re-configure as normal. Configure should detect the type of va_copy implementation on the host architecture and set itself up accordingly. :) Once again apologies for the delay. I know this e-mail isn't very professional of me but I haven't got time to back-port the changes to a clean 2.0.0 and patch. This code will be going into the BLUEMOON branch today. (Build 100 I think.)

Please indicate whether that fix would be appropriate for you as I don't want to have a package in Debian that deviates too far from your work.
