Hi Eugene,

The problem is likely to be that your glib wasn't configured with
--ansi so the use of the G_VA_COPY created a call to va_copy which is
C99 and so not allowed with --ansi.

The advice in hacking might need to be altered to note that some
systems may not be able to compile with --ansi because headers that
they depend on use later than --ansi standards.

Cheers
