This appears to have been an overzealous reading of the C standard by 
the compiler group.  The standard says the 2nd arg to va_start is an 
identifier, and they decided that an identifier enclosed in parens is 
not an identifier.  Warren tells me he is up and running after changing 
a line that looks like

 # define TRIO_VA_START(x,y) va_start((x),(y))

to a line that looks like

 # define TRIO_VA_START(x,y) va_start((x),y)

DEC C 6.0 has the problem, 6.4 and 6.5 do not.  Dunno about 6.2.
