This was guarded by HAVE_ASPRINTF, but we never had a configure check
for asprintf (or vasprintf).
This only turned up when I made the function static, since they now
clash with the prototypes in stdio.h on FreeBSD.
As far as I know all the platforms we build on have these functions.
If this turns out to be not the case, we can always add compat functions
to our utilies later.
