+Subject: [PATCH] copydir: include stdarg.h for va_* funcs
+
+Building on newer systems fails due to using stdargs but not including
+the header file:
+
+copydir.c: In function 'error_acl':
+copydir.c:126:2: warning: implicit declaration of function 'va_start' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
+copydir.c:132:2: warning: implicit declaration of function 'va_end' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
+...
+libmisc/copydir.c:126: undefined reference to 'va_start'
+libmisc/copydir.c:132: undefined reference to 'va_end'
+...
+make[2]: *** [useradd] Error 1
