Does your ansi.h.in contain:

#ifdef __GNUC__
#ifdef __GCC_NEW_VARARGS__
#ifndef __GNUC_VA_LIST
#define __GNUC_VA_LIST
typedef char *__gnuc_va_list;
#endif
#define _BSD_VA_LIST_   __gnuc_va_list          /* va_list */
#else
#define _BSD_VA_LIST_   __builtin_va_list       /* va_list */
#endif
#elif defined(__STDC__) && !defined(__i386__)
#define _BSD_VA_LIST_   void *                  /* va_list */
#else
#define _BSD_VA_LIST_   char *                  /* va_list */
#endif
#endif
