	The only system I ever had access to on which configure decided
to use _doprnt was an old Tektronix 4300 running a variant of BSD 4.2
called UTek 4.?.  When building meyering's *utils packages, configure
would punt down to _doprnt which was used by *utils/lib/error.c because
vprintf wasn't present.  I don't recall if varargs.h was available or
not. 

	I don't think it matters because to my knowledge gcc never
officially worked on that system, though I think an unofficial port was
floating around. 

	Other BSD 4.2 systems may or may not be an issue.  Anyone
remember what Pyramid OSx 4.x had in its BSD universe?  Hmm, maybe this
doesn't matter? :-)
