Since the C standard (both versions) says that extra format arguments are
ignored, and since generally variadic functions needn't consume their
variable arguments as long as va_start/va_copy (if called) is matched with
va_end, with what calling conventions (with which ISO C can be
implemented) is this non-portable?
