I found this:
http://www.swig.org/Doc1.3/SWIGDocumentation.html#Varargs_nn8
-> 13.7 Wrapping of va_list

I don't know if that's related. Also this from a ruby list:
http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/ruby-vpi-discuss/2007-August/000008.html
... mentioning a "type mismatch" error.

BTW, I am using gcc version 4.3.2 on 64bit. Is it only me having
this problem to compile swig/python/ ?
