I don't get this problem on my SunOS 5.5 system using gcc(1).  It
appears that, for some reason, the configure script insists that your
system doesn't support <stdarg.h> -- which gcc(1) 2.7.2 obviously does.
I have to admit that I don't know what the problem is.

I think trying the SUN C compiler instead of GCC is a good idea.  It's
either that or editing the configure script to try and determine the
problem.

Try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Execute the command `make clean'.

    3.  Set the environment variable CC to the SUN C compiler,
        e.g.

            $ setenv CC /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc

    4.  Execute the configure script.  Check its output to verify that
        the SUN C compiler will be used.

    5.  Execute the command `make all'.
