I would think that a simpler solution is to put the type you need in 
gcc's stdarg.h.

Trying to avoid running fixincludes is risky.  If gcc and HPUX ever get 
out of step, then gcc starts failing, possibly in subtle ways.  It would 
be a shame if HP releases a new version of HPUX, and then we find that 
the last gcc release doesn't work on it because we aren't running 
fixincludes.
