Indeed.  This is a known problem with GCC 3.1 and later; the
DJGPP-specific README file in the binary distribution of GCC explains
how to fix that.

(I wish that the compiler weren't so virulent about pushing its
replacements for system headers down the library's throat, but the
compiler maintainers think otherwise.  This problem happens because
GCC comes with its own version of stdarg.h, which conflicts with
stdio.h from the library.)
