>Description:

If you include <err.h>, it includes <stdarg.h>.

This is not necessarily wrong as I don't think err.h is defined by any
standards, but it's close enough to a standard header in BSD-land that
this violates the POLA.

on dfly this is not the case (see PR 48037)

>How-To-Repeat:

   ----
#include <err.h>
va_list foo;
   ----

>Fix:
