Right, forgot to mention it.  The patch may need some tweaking in the
distant future because va_list is a pointer on SH-5, if I'm not
mistaken.  However, support for SH-5 has been removed in GCC 7 and
seems unlikely to be reintroduced any time soon.

Yes, I'm using the stock stretch package (1:2.8+dfsg-6).

Thanks; I didn't know this.  I tried with qemu from git but it still
fails with the same error.  Perhaps I'm not building it properly, I'll
take a closer look when I find the time.
