Possible bug in jextract C header definition?

[Mark Hammons]

Hi Maurizio,

Switching away from sbt to mill as my build tool has allowed me to use 
the panama early access jdk-14. Testing it with my codebase, the 
__va_list_tag issue is not a problem anymore.

I set my code to use scala dotty 0.17.0-RC1, and the issue that I 
encountered before, with the dotty compiler refusing to parse the 
wlroots.jar file produced by jextract because of certain inner classes, 
seems to be gone now.

I still have to adapt my code to compile using dotty, so I will do that 
later and make sure I can actually compile and run my code.

Thanks,

Mark
