I get this as well.  I believe the warning started after I upgraded Solaris,
but I'm not sure.  I didn't build gcc locally.  If I remember correctly 
the collision was between a gcc header file (stdarg.h shown above) and 
a Solaris header file in /usr/include.

Python seems to work fine otherwise, but I only run the unit 
tests.
