That call looks somewhat restricted to me.

How about something like this:

OM_uint32 gss_list_default_cred_names(
	OM_uint32    * minor_status,
	gss_name_t   * name,
	gss_OID_set  * mech_oids,
	int          * is_default,
	OM_uint32    * cred_context
);

That would also match what you have to feed into an
explicit call to gss_acquire_cred() in order to reliably
get a credentials handle for exactly and each one listed.
