With the MIPS argument passing conventions, stdarg.h needs to know
how big an argument is to know where it is on the stack (since doubles,
for example, require 64-bit alignment). For structures size > 4
does NOT mean that alignment is > 4.....
__builtin_alignof is a built-in to cc to get a constant
(the alignment required, in bytes) given a type or variable.
Given double x;
__builtin_alignof(x)
__builtin_alignof(double)
are both 8.
gcc apparently does not understand that __builtin_alignof is
special (is not a function call).
Perhaps gcc has something equivalent.
Or perhaps you will have to modify stdarg.h in some way for gcc.
Hope this helps a little.
