+If your system uses the SVr4 ABI (designed by Motorola), you will only
+be able to compile my library files lib/format.c and lib/getargs.c if your
+C-compiler supports the macro va_copy() or __va_copy() from stdarg.h.
+
+Mach/Next STep/Apple Rhapsody on ppc use a 'void *' for the type va_list
+so you don't need to make changes on these systems.
+
+Solaris/ppc (made in 1992) is the first UNIX implementation for the PPC.
+It includes the va_copy() macro that allows you to assign a C object of the
+type va_list in a system independent way.
+
+Linux/ppc uses exactly the same construct as Solaris for the type va_list.
+You will only be able to compile lib/format.c and lib/getargs.c if your 
+C-compiler includes the macro va_copy() or __va_copy(). If this is not the
+case, you will need to upgrade your C-compiler first. GCC 2.8.0 and later
+includes this macro.
+
+Here is what Solaris /usr/include/sys/varargs.h looks like:
+
+/*
+ * va_copy is a Solaris extension to provide a portable way to perform
+ * a variable argument list ``bookmarking'' function.
+ */
+#if defined(__ppc)
+#define	va_copy(to, from)	((to)[0] = (from)[0])
+#else
+#define	va_copy(to, from)	((to) = (from))
+#endif
+
+To be able to compile my lib/format.c and lib/getargs.c on a OS
+implementation that uses an array for va_list, you will need
+this va_copy() enhancement too.
+
+The files mentioned above already compile on a PPC Apple Rhapsody system.
+But as mentioned before, Rhapsody uses a void * for va_list (maybe because
+Apple includes badly designed international printf code from BSD 4.4
+that requires va_list to be void * to work).
+
+Notice:	lib/format.c allows a %r format that needs additional features
+	in stdarg.h. You need to know whether va_list is an array.
+	I hope that GCC will include some definitions in future versions
+	that allow to propagate va_list type objects from var args
+	in function calls.
+
+GCC
+===
+
+If you are not using GCC 2.8.0, you can add the following definition 
+to va-ppc.h :
+
+/usr/lib/gcc-lib/*-linux-gnulibc1/2.*/include/va-ppc.h
+
+#define	va_copy(to, from)	((to)[0] = (from)[0])
+
+and to all other va-*.h files:
+
+#define	va_copy(to, from)	((to) = (from))
+
+Important: Check before if you don't have a GCC that is already patched.
