With the latest patch Paolo sent I don't see why it couldn't just work
on the long double {64,128} arches, though I haven't tested it.
Variadic functions are usually slower than non-variadic ones. Any
reason why the issue could not be addressed differently?
But s*printf is already variadic and on most targets sprintf and snprintf
are just tiny wrappers around vsprintf and vsnprintf (the code duplication
would be otherwise huge). So it really doesn't matter if you do
va_start/va_end in the vsnprintf caller or call snprintf which in turn
does va_start/va_end.
