Are you sure va_copy is always a preprocessor symbol?
According to the following forum-post we are:

However, I decided to dig a bit further, so I had a look at the public
draft spec at http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/docs/n1256.pdf,
section 7.15.1:

"The va_start and va_arg macros described in this subclause shall be implemented
as macros, not functions. It is unspecified whether va_copy and va_end
are macros or
identifiers declared with external linkage."

I don't have access (that I know of) to the finalized spec, but it
looks sketchy to me to depend on va_copy being implemented as a macro
given this wording.
