+After further investigation, it looks that vararg calls to pinvoke
+functions are supported only for a restricted set of architectures
+(only amd64, at least in version 1.1.16.1).
+
+However, this is a needed to allow CIL code to call functions
+implemented in native libraries, i.e. glibc, which has a lot of vararg
+functions, many of them very frequently used.
+
+Are there specific issues that make implementing this feature difficult?
+Is there any plan to add it for all the architectures?
