Doh!  Sorry.  How about this:

static void
pguuid_complain(uuid_rc_t rc)
{
    char    *err = uuid_error(rc);

    if (err != NULL)
        ereport(ERROR,
                (errmsg("OSSP uuid failure: %s", err)));
    else
        ereport(ERROR,
                (errmsg("OSSP uuid failure: error code %d", rc)));
}


Alternatively we could pass the called function name into
pguuid_complain, but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble (what does it
give the user, anyway?)
