Well error printing the way libgpg-error does, is only usefull to applications
such as gnupg. For gnutls which is a low level wrapper library over libgcrypt 
it is just unused code.

I don't have anything with libgpg-error. I just want an option to disable it  
if I don't need it at all since it makes it harder to compile libgcrypt and
adds unused code.

Your concerns when adding an option to disable it are for end user
distributions which will of course include it, since they want error 
reporting. On the other hand embedded servers that only use gnutls
over libgcrypt don't need it at all.
