Yes.  I haven't said the relevant stdarg functions have to use malloc. 
They just need to interoperate with what the ABI says (and that's passing 
by pointer).  Daniel downthread is correct in that va_list itself doesn't 
have to be a pointer, that was merely TCCs way of fulfilling the ABI 
requirements.  So he fixed it meanwhile, so I'm fine.

The fossil-scm issue should still be investigated somewhen.  TCCs old 
implementation of stdarg was conforming, so changing it to something else 
shouldn't affect any correctly written code (meaning that I'd suspect 
either some different bug in TCC that now is merely hidden, or a bug in 
fossil-scm (perhaps in their usage of stdarg functions) that's now 
hidden).


Ciao,
Michael.
