Yeah, it only affects variadic function because the way fortify is implemented
on clang is by implementing overloading wrappers for each possible signature.

I don't have a strong preference, you patch to limit to only variadic seems fine.
I will add a comment that __typeof should not be used in such cases on not-cancel
to avoid potential future issues.
