So for some reason you have G_HAVE_ISO_VARARGS defined but your compiler
does not support varargs in macros. What does the configure script say
when it gets to the bit about "Checking for ISO C99 varargs macros in
C"? That test builds a small test program including varargs in a macro.
If that test passes, then the above code should compile and vice versa.

You did rerun configure when you changed the C compiler, right? 

Cheers,
