Why not include gnprintf out of the gtk glib package?  There are two
reasonable ways to achieve portability in my experience: include your
own version of the software you need (which is what qmail does) or
rely on a library which is portable (which is what the gimp does).
Trying to rely on vendor C libraries is fraught with peril.
