That's because it's wrong.  Under ISO C, stdio.h is not allowed to
define va_list.  The following is a strictly conforming C program:

#define va_list ha ha ha you lose
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
  return 0;
}

stdio.h only defines three types (outside the reserved namespaces):
size_t, FILE, and fpos_t.
