+Subject: [PATCH] Fix va_list not declared
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+When compiling with uClibc-ng the following error is seen.
+
+In file included from ../deps/v8/src/log-utils.cc:5:0:
+../deps/v8/src/log-utils.h:64:39: error: ‘va_list’ has not been declared
+     void AppendVA(const char* format, va_list args);
+
+This patch fixes the issue by adding the missing #include <cstdarg>.  Note
+that this fix has already be included upstream, see
+https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/8a43a3d/deps/v8/src/log-utils.h
