What version of Umax V are you running?  I've built all patchlevels of
Elm 2.4 on a 93 running Umax V 3.1.2 with no difficulty whatsoever.  If
you are running a previous release of 3.1, I'd recommend upgrading if
possible.

The "va_dcl" is what's called a variable arguments declaration.  This
is an old-style C construct commonly referred to as varargs(5) (Umax V
has a man page on this functionality).  This functionality allows you
to pass a variable number of arguments to a single function.

Standard C reimplemented the varargs(5) functionality with a set of
functions collectively called stdarg, which does exactly the same
thing.

Since the varargs(5) functions are old-style C, you'll have to be sure
that you tell Configure to use the C compiler flag "-q extensions=pcc_c"
(which you can abbreviate "-q ext=pcc").

Let me know if you have any further problems configuring and building
Elm 2.4.
