    Problem Text
    Some VSX4 testcase is using va_list variables in a non-portable manner.
    For example, on line 99 of cc37es.c, an expression is trying to assign
    the value of one va_list variable to another. The content of va_list
    variables is implementation-defined so applications should not expect to
    be able to assign one va_list value to a va_list variable. In our
    implementation, va_list is defined as a two element array of character
    pointers. Arrays cannot be assigned to each other in this manner.

    This type of error is causing the following failures:

    /tset/ANSI.hdr/misc/stdio_2/T.stdio_2 37 Failed
    /tset/ANSI.hdr/misc/stdio_2/T.stdio_2 38 Failed
    /tset/ANSI.hdr/misc/stdio_2/T.stdio_2 39 Failed
    Test Output
    /tset/ANSI.hdr/misc/stdio_2/T.stdio_2 37 Failed

    Test Description:
    If the header file contains a macro definition for vfprintf(), it
    evaluates its arguments only once, fully protected by parentheses when
    necessary, and protects its return value with parentheses.
    Posix Ref: Component VFPRINTF Assertion 8.1-03(C)

    Test Strategy:
    INVOKE macro with an increment and assignment in each argument.
    CAST macro to (void) - this verifies the return value is
    parenthesised.
    VERIFY that increments occurred once and assignments gave correct
    values.
