I agree, as this is a gcc specific extension...
I have implemented this (similar to ia64) and I'm doing a regression test right

	* config/arm/arm.h (EXPAND_BUILTIN_VA_ARG,
	FUNCTION_ARG_PASS_BY_REFERENCE): Add.
	* config/arm/arm.c (arm_va_arg,
	arm_function_arg_pass_by_reference): Add.
	* config/arm/arm-protos.h: Add prototypes.
