The HAVE_STDARG is overloaded.  It used to enable
STDC variable arguments when __STDC__ isn't defined
(see include/portable.h.nt) AND used within codes to
determine which variable argument semantics to use.

Portable.h.nt probably should be written define __NEED_STDARG
and ac/stdard use this in the #ifdef.  The code would continue
to use HAVE_STDARG.  (Yes, it might be time to eliminate the
old K&R vararg code).
