Should "just work", I should think. I agree with Andres that that's
not the cause of the build failure. I wonder if somehow the failing
links are picking up the wrong libpq.a.
Separately from that: is it really okay to delegate use of a va_list
argument like that? The other call paths of
appendPQExpBufferVA[_internal] write va_start/va_end directly around it,
not somewhere else in the call chain. I'm too tired to language-lawyer
out what happens when you do it like this, but I'm suspecting that it's
not well-defined portable behavior.
I think what you probably need to do is export appendPQExpBufferVA
as-is and require libpq_append_error to provide the error loop.
