It is indeed provided by the compiler.
I could not find anybody doing this differently. Using builtins seems to me to be the normal way to expose compiler implementation specifics.

I can add a guard. It would only protect against the case where the other stdarg.h is loaded first, not if ours is loaded first.
Although these symbols should always only come from some <stdarg.h> and within a single CU this should always end up being the same file.
