Extensions are built by ``Makefile``. Most extensions use + ``pkg-config`` and fall back to manual detection. + (Contributed by Christian Heimes in :gh:`93939`.) + * ``va_start()`` with two parameters, like ``va_start(args, format),`` is now required to build Python. ``va_start()`` is no longer called with a single parameter. |
