Try changing src/include/c.h so that <stddef.h> and <stdarg.h> are
included unconditionally (near line 53) and remove #include <varargs.h>
near line 770.

Or try 7.1RC2 or later --- these changes are already made for 7.1.

Looks like there's a little version mixing going on here.

You say you're trying to install 7.0.3, but the make appears to be
trying to compile 6.5.3...
