Most of the stdarg tests in the tree use a slightly more complicated 
test, involving actually using the stdarg macros; are you sure it's the 
compiler warning, or is this compilation test failing?  Check the 
config.log report in the directory where the configuration process 
stops.

I can't... we've got 6.5.7 or our team's one IRIX box.  But the C 
compiler is producing some warnings, apparently without it being taken 
as an error by the configure script, as long as the exit status is 
zero.
