There is probably due to a known problem with the vxWorks header files
when building for Tornado 1.0.1 on the PowerPC.  The fix for this has been
included in the R3.13.2 configuration files, and involves changing a line
in config/CONFIG.Vx.ppc604 so the following definition appears:
	ARCH_DEP_CPPFLAGS = -DCPU=PPC604 -D_GNU_TOOL -DTRUE=1

The -DTRUE=1 is the important factor here; the architecture-specific
var-args header file for the PowerPC requires that the TRUE macro be
defined, which isn't always the case.
