You could try

  warning ("off")

but that's a big hammer.  Or you could find the place in Octave where
the warning is issued and remove it.  But I'd rather fix as many of
the va_arg usages as we can now, so that we can delete va_arg
completely from Octave before too long.

OK.

I already posted a patch for getfield and setfield.
