Public bug reported:

In several functions of Kern/hdebug/__snp.c (in LDPUMA_ConsoleN,
LDPUMA_StatusLine, LDPUMA_MessageBoxOk, LDPUMA_MessageBoxYesNo,
LDPUMA_FPrintf1024 functions) a function expecting a char* is called
with a va_list argument. On some architectures[0] such a code will not
ever compile, because va_list is not a pointer; on some othera, it will
lead to a crash if the code in question is ever reached.
