Heh, I just got this problem at hand. It turns out that stdarg.h is a compiler include file. On my system (Debian testing) it lives in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/include/stdarg.h . Because you told the compiler to blow away the standard include path (-nostdinc flag), it won't find it anymore. Erik -- J.A.K.
