I do not think it is an lvalue bug, because above function is part of
the SubC library, which is written in SubC and not in C99.

It does not even make sense to compile the SubC library with anything
but SubC, because SubC uses left-to-right calling conventions, so
_va_arg() would deliver variable arguments in the wrong order in C.
(Note that it uses `--' to advance to the next argument.)
