varargs warning on Alpha

["Lawrence DčOliveiro" <ldo at geek-central dot gen dot nz>]

Hi.

We have encountered an oddity using GCC 2.95.1 on Alphas running DEC UNIX
4.0a and 4.0d. The symptom looks like this:

In file included from
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/alpha-dec-osf4.0a/2.95.1/include/stdarg.h:36,
                 from /home/cree/code/ip/error.h:12,
                 from /home/cree/code/ip/ip.h:12,
                 from comp.c:21:
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/alpha-dec-osf4.0a/2.95.1/include/va-alpha.h:36:
warning: redefinition of `va_list'
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/alpha-dec-osf4.0a/2.95.1/include/va_list.h:7:
warning: `va_list' previously declared here

Here's a more detailed analysis, courtesy of Michael Cree:

Is this a known issue? Is it fixed in 2.95.2?

Thanks for any help.
