New description:

 Building Slrn 1.0.3 fails with this log message:

 {{{
 :info:build
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_news_slrn/slrn/work/slrn-1.0.3/src/misc.c:376:4:
 error: implicit declaration of function 'VA_COPY' is invalid in C99
 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
 :info:build    VA_COPY(ap1, ap);
 :info:build    ^
 }}}

 The reason seems to be that Slrn fails to build when it is configured as
 if the system has no support for `va_copy()`. However macOS Big Sur
 actually supports `va_copy()`. We seem to have two bugs here: one in Slrn
 itself for failing to build in this specific configuration and a further
 one in the configure script that fails to properly detect support for
 `va_copy()`.

 The reason for the latter problem is a bug in the configure script. The
 check uses `exit()` without properly including the necessary header file
 `stdlib.h` as indicated by configure in its config.log:

 {{{
 configure:8294: checking for an implementation of va_copy()

           ^
 conftest.c:91:4: note: include the header <stdlib.h> or explicitly provide
 a declaration for 'exit'
 }}}

Comment:

 The only bug we probably need to fix is that the configure script doesn't
 include the required headers. This is a well-known situation with Xcode
 12.
