Apparently our use of va_list arguments in the perl signal callbacks doesn't work on x86_64 (and other architectures where a va_list is not a pointer but an array). Pull an autoconf macro from Glib svn to check whether va_lists are arrays and switch how we use them on that. I'm not at all sure this is a complete fix but it seems to fix the issue as currently reported. Fixes #7404
