Summary: varargs on FreeBSD 5

Initial Comment:
Somehow FreeBSD 5.x's va_copy is not detected and memcpy breaks 
on other architectures than i386, e.g. alpha.

Currently, the attached patch helps.

I checked it on debian unstable on ia32.  But it should work
in theory because now we avoid the fragile va_copy stuff.

Checked in into unstable, will backport soon.

Thanks for the report,

Richard.

Yes, glame builds fine with your patch as well. Thanks!
I didn't check if it's doing what it's supposed to do though :)

Ok, can you try the attached patch which just removes the
need for va_copy?  It's untested, but maybe you get the idea
and can fix up any simple errors I made.

Thanks,
Richard.

I guess it's time for a configure check.  I'll go over this
piece again.
Don't exactly remember why I put the memcpy fallback in, but
I think I should drop it in favor of a configure failure.
