The attached debdiff fixes this problem and allows mksh to build again.

I suggest to forward it upstream to both Debian and Fefe though.

Hi again,

I already sent a mail to the dietlibc mailing list regarding
this problem.

Sometimes they [people] care too much: pretty printers [and syntax highligh-
ting, d.A.] mechanically produce pretty output that accentuates irrelevant
detail in the program, which is as sensible as putting all the prepositions
in English text in bold font. -- Rob Pike in "Notes on Programming in C"

From discussion with Fefe:

----------------------------
revision 1.12
date: 2008-11-26 18:43:06 +0000; author: leitner; state: Exp; lines: +1 -1
add %Z to strptime, make stdarg work with gcc 4.4
----------------------------

I told him though that __builtin_stdarg_start is needed for
supporting gcc2 and older gcc3 versions. Anyway, this is fixed
upstream (and Fefe sounded surprised that Debian did not package
the CVS development versions of diet libc but releases).
