A few notes about your patch...

--- a/printf/snprntffuns.c
+++ b/printf/snprntffuns.c
@@ -85,6 +85,7 @@ gmp_snprintf_format (struct gmp_snprintf_t *d, const char *fmt,
       d->buf += step;

       if (ret != avail-1)
+        va_end(ap);
         return ret;

This one is incorrect since the "return ret;" will no longer be
in the "if" branch.

Moreover, the va_end(3) man page says:

  On  some  systems,  va_end  contains  a  closing  '}' matching a '{' in
  va_start, so that both macros must occur in the same function, and in a
  way that allows this.

Thus even

       if (ret != avail-1)
         {
           va_end(ap);
           return ret;
         }

would not work on such systems.
