correct to set -nostdinc and then include <stdarg.h> ?

I was trying to compile 2.5.66 with gcc 3.2.2. It dies as soon as it tries to
compile init/main.c because it is unable to find "stdarg.h" which is included by
"include/linux/kernel.h".

The "-nostdinc" flag is set in the compile options. If I remove that flag, that
particular file appears to compile fine.

It seems wrong to tell the compiler to not look in the standard places but then
include a standard file. Am I missing something?

Other compiler versions work fine, so I'm guessing the compiler now interprets
the flag more strictly than before.

What is the proper way to deal with this?

Chris
