va_dcl

[Jack Howarth]

Richard,
   You might want to grab a copy of xfig 3.2.2 and build it on your machine.
This was all an exercise to test case it compilation problems. Finally tonight
I simply started playing with the flags passed to egcs and discovered that 
the key flag that was tripping up xfig on linuxppc, XFree86, glibc 2.0.100
with egcs_1_1_branch is 

-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500L

with it the compilation flags look like

gcc -c -O2 -fsigned-char   -I/usr/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/X11 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/include  -Dlinux -D__powerpc__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE   -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO                  -DGSBIT -DUSE_INLINE -DUSE_XPM                         -DUSE_XPM_ICON  -DUSE_JPEG     w_setup.c 

and it compiles fine. With that -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500L flag I get this parse
errors on va_dcl. Any ideas why that might be?
