It is <cstdarg>, and in libcomo for Comeau 4.3.3 I see:

#include <stdarg.h>

namespace std {

     using ::va_list;

}

Comeau uses the back end compiler for the C headers, such as stdarg.h, 
although it provides a few of its own for various compilers evidently to 
make up for some compiler deficiences. I do not see any stdarg.h among 
the latter. What is the back end compiler being used for the failing test ?
