../backend/nodes/list.c also had the same error with 'va-list' being undeclared.
Thanks,

In src/include/c.h, try including <stddef.h> and <stdarg.h>
unconditionally --- that is, remove #ifdef STDC_HEADERS / #endif
near line 53. This is what we are doing in the 7.1 sources...

va_list is declared in stdarg.h on Solaris 2.7, and is probably on Solaris 2.8 also. For a "quick fix" try #including that at the top of the two files that fail. The "real" fix would be to fix configure so that it properly detects where va_list is declared, or put the appropriate #if statements in the source files...
