The loops over (x, then all varargs, until a NULL is found) can be written much simpler with an ordinary for loop. Just initialize the loop variable to x, test that, and in the increment part, fetch the next va_arg(). That removes a level of indentation, and avoids doing a separate strlen()/stpcpy() call for x. While touching this code anyway, change (size_t)-1 to the more readable SIZE_MAX.
