Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to compile the test program given in the description
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  bug.c: In function `func':
bug.c:11: `myType' is promoted to `int' when passed through `...'
bug.c:11: (so you should pass `int' not `myType' to `va_arg')

Expected Results:  It should just compile making a.out.  I understood that
anything can be passed to va_arg, not just ints. 

This prevents some software from being compiled e.g. lib icq...
