Hi,
I upgraded my ports tree and found the the xorg-server port (now
at 6.9.0) won't build on 4.11 because it can't find a working va_copy. I've
checked /usr/include and indeed there is no mention of va_copy in there.

Hi,
A possibility (only). I have two AMD K6-2 boxes currently both of which
work fine. BUT on one of them if I use the loader then I get crashes,
