Here is an update:
2.6.12-rc2 has both va_copy patch and syscall patch and works for me
once a patch is applied to arch/um/kernel/Makefile for some sed syntax
2.6.11.7 has va_copy patch only and works for me once I apply the
syscall patch that I started and Paolo made much better.

Environment is Debian Woody, gcc 2.95.4, sed 3.02

Thanks again for all involved in helping me to this state.
