Subject: GCC 3.3.3 and Ruby 1.8.0 and 1.8.1

We recently upgraded to GCC 3.3.3 and now we can no longer compile ruby 
due to its use of some obsoleted constructs.

Apparently GCC no longer supports <varargs.h>, and code should be 
revised to use <stdarg.h>

Not knowing anything about it, is there a good workaround?

Will this be changed in future versions of Ruby so that it will play 
nice with the latest GCC?

gcc -fPIC -g -O2 -fPIC -mpa-risc-2-0 -I.
