You can do it without requiring either C99 or GCC if you're willing to
fall back to using an inline function and provide a version of
krb5_set_error_message that takes a va_list instead of variable
arguments.  But that might be overkill.  (I do that as a standard part
of the error handling library for most of the code I write, if you want
to look at a working and tested implementation.)
