Summary line error message is not useful. I read it to say that the compiler can't generate a procedure activation record for a particular method which uses an elipsis parameter. Now, I am willing to patch in a work-around (in the user code) to get beyond this, but I interpret it as an internal (g++-3.2) error with no try-this hint provided. This is Gentoo related only to the extent that the compiler is gcc-3.2-r1 as emerged for the system build. The user software is something called the 'Virtual Object System' from <http://www.interreality.org>. My primary use for VOS is to make sure g++-3.2 can handle it, as it is one of several c++ applications I am trying to use as a compiler shakedown. I understand that I have not provided nearly enough information to duplicate the problem, nor do I expect you to. What I need is some clue from the gcc people about possible sources for this error message, and whether there has been a change with gcc I should have reacted to. (By the way, I am perfectly willing just to discuss these issues through the mailing lists if you at Gentoo prefer; I am mostly trying to get a feel for gcc-3.2 at this point.)
you could consider querying the gcc-dev mailing lists on this matter. if you have a patch for gcc3.2 compat, you might consider sending it upstream.
