When using 

char b = __builtin_va_arg(va, char);

gcc incorrectly generates an "int $5" in assembly (x86).

(I know, that this is bad code and I should use "int" instead of "char)

Extract from disassembly:

[...]
pushl   %ebp
movl    %esp, %ebp
subl    $8, %esp
leal    12(%ebp), %eax
movl    %eax, -4(%ebp)
int     $5
[...]

This is obviously plain wrong.

This is reproduceable with versions 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 but not with 3.2.1
