Perhaps the best way to fix this is to extend fixincludes, which is
intended to install legal ANSI replacements for defective vendor headers.
In this case, it would turn // comments into /* comments.

If stdarg.h is the only file with this wierdness, it would be enough to
put a fixed copy of it into the /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/next-whatever/include
directory by hand (check the path on your system; it's where the
gcc-generated header files live).
