Hello Dan,
>From what Peter has written, I cannot quite understand what he is
complaining about.
va_copy() *is* used in Bacula if it exists. If it does not exist, we
provide an
alternative. So detection of va_copy() is something we want to do. If he
is complaining about a variable used in configure, then he should write to
the GNU maintainers who write the code that converts configure.in into
configure, but honestly, any compiler is going to have difficulties at
being 100% efficient.
configure is much like a binary or an object because it is compiled from
configure.in.
As such references to "problems" in configure are not very useful.
Best regards,
Kern
