Yuck, let's not make this even less comprehensible than it is now.
Try changing the starred line to

	"s@[ \t]va_list@ __not_va_list__@\n"

Alternatively, change the entire thing to

	// Delete definitions of va_list.
  sed = "/^[ \t]*#[ \t]*define[ \t]*va_list/\n"
	"/typedef.*[^a-zA-Z_]va_list[^a-zA-Z_]/d\n"

	// Delete claims to have defined va_list.
	"/^[ \t]*#[ \t]*define[ \t]*_*VA_LIST/d\n"

	// Change references to va_list to use __gnuc_va_list instead.
	"s/[ \t]va_list/ __gnuc_va_list/";

which should be equivalent except that it doesn't touch _VA_LIST_,
which is probably safe.
