This came up here recently.  The answer is that because the default
compilation model in cfront 2.0 does *not* generate ansi-style
prototypes, the '...' doesn't get through to your C compiler, and so
stdarg doesn't work.

The workaround we used is to compile the relevant file(s) using

   CC2 +a1

which generates ansi prototypes.  May or may not work for you...
