Uhm, did you get the libstdc++-devel RPM installed? It provides the
stdarg.h file, specifically:

	/usr/include/c++/8/tr1/stdarg.h

Checking an old F26 VM I have, the equivalent file is:

	/usr/include/c++/7/tr1/stdarg.h

I believe the C compiler will find it if it's installed. Even if it
does appear to be installed, a "dnf reinstall libstdc++-devel" should
clean up any cruft your messed-up install may have left.
