Summary: Compile errors on SuSe Linux on IBM/s390

Initial Comment:
I requested a test account at IBM on one of their 
IBM/s390 machine. I tried to compile Python-2.2a4.tgz 
and got the following errors... I submit this as a bug 
because the version 2.1.1 compile and run fine on this 
machine.
Cheers,

I made some changes that may have repaired the error 
(the "invalid initializer").  Or maybe not -- I don't have 
access to a box of this kind, so I guess the only way we'll 
know is if you try again with current CVS Python.

Python/errors.c, rev 2.66
Objects/stringobject.c, rev 2.136

The two warnings look braindead:  offset and newsize are 
obviously initialized before use.  So not inclined to try 
to do anything about those.

The error needs more information:  an auto vrbl of type 
va_list is initialized to a vrbl of type va_list.  Why is 
that invalid?  What does va_list resolve to on this box?  
Is VA_LIST_IS_ARRAY #define'd by the config for this box?
