libbpf: Handle invalid typedef emitted by old GCC
Old GCC versions are producing invalid typedef for __gnuc_va_list pointing to void. Special-case this and emit valid: typedef __builtin_va_list __gnuc_va_list; Reported-by: John Fastabend <john.fastabend@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andriin@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Acked-by: John Fastabend <john.fastabend@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20191011032901.452042-1-andriin@fb.com
