Ok, this could be the problem. I just had a simple hello world program
crash because I tried to compile it as such:
>> gcc -nostdinc -I/mit/gnu/.build/rs_aix32/gcc-2.7.0-bounds/include temp.c
Now, I'm not saying that's what the user did. I personally don't know.
Maybe he was compiling on a machine that does not have a recent
/usr/include subdir. (Some sort of private ws thingy.) Therefore, he
couldn't find va_list.h, standards.h, or whatever have you.
Maybe this will help you to understand the user's dilemma.
