Even if there is any ABI that has va_list as an array type, it
probably still makes sense to have va_list be a distinct type from
that particular array type.  Otherwise, we might get odd error
messages in which the array type should be printed, but va_list is
printed instead.

I.e., array types should be copied, so the patch doesn't apply.
