The gcc internals have changes between 4.1 and 4.2, this was in 4.1's
tree.h:

And here is what there is in 4.2's:

Looks like buildN are called “by hand” in objc and fortan front-ends.

There are also in ChangeLog-2003:

2003-05-17  Kaveh R. Ghazi  <ghazi at caip.rutgers.edu>

        * builtins.c (validate_arglist): Eliminate libiberty VA_ macros,
        always use stdarg.
        [...]
        * tree.c (build, build_nt, build_function_type_list): Likewise.


Please let us know if you get something working, it would be so nice
if gdc were ported to gcc-4.2. :-)


Have a nice day,

Arthur.
