My reading of the source seems to indicate that this variable number of
arguments function is called and it calls another variable number of
arguments function. Without knowing how many arguments it got. Is this
even possible to do portably?

Another thing is that as far as I know, none of these functions is ever
called. So commenting the contents out with #ifdef WIN32 or something
seems quite reasonable.

Type mismatch: va_list and char*

Status in Linux port of Cuneiform: New

Bug description:
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.
