 More likely, he was compiling it under g++ 3.0.4 or the 3.1 branch, where
 it works fine.  I've verified that it doesn't work under 2.95, but that's
 unlikely to change, as nobody's working on 2.95 anymore.

 No the old PR was closed because it was fixed in a latter version like 
 3.0.
 With your example I receive an error of
 g++ temp2.cc
 temp2.cc: In function `void fn(int)':
 temp2.cc:5: invalid conversion from `void (*)()' to `void (*)(...)'
 
 So it looks like it has been fixed.
 
 
 Thanks,

 Gaby was mistaken.
 
 Gaby must, as far as I can tell, have been compiling it under gcc and not g++.
 
 Evidence (code modified as per Gaby's suggestion):
 
 extern void fn1();
 void fn (int b){
    __builtin_apply( (void (*)(...))fn1,
                    __builtin_apply_args(),
                    32);
 }
 
 Output:
 g++ builtin_apply.cc
 builtin_apply.cc: In function `void fn(int)':
 builtin_apply.cc:5: argument passing to `void * ()(unsigned int)' from `void 
 *'
 Compilation exited abnormally with code 1 at Wed Apr 24 10:01:44
 
 Conclusion:
 
 Problem still exists.
 
 Please re-open the PR.
 
 Colin.

host: i686-pc-linux-gnu
build: i686-pc-linux-gnu

>Description:
g++ rejects all possible constructions of __builtin_apply() by requiring the second argument to be of an impossible type, with an error: argument passing to `void * ()(unsigned int)' from `void *'.  Please note the impossible type `void * () (unsigned int)'

>How-To-Repeat:
run g++ over the following code:
----
extern void fn1();
void fn (int b){
   __builtin_apply( (void (*)())fn1,
                   __builtin_apply_args(),
                   32);
}
----
NB: this bug was reported in Problem Report 102 on March 12th 2000, and was closed in error.  The bug is, and has been, causing my GPL'd project a great deal of difficulty, and its fix should be straight forward.

There is no fix or workaround possible within g++
