Having multiple label targets is not an attractive pattern. The core
problem here is that gnutls_certificate_free_credentials will
unconditionally dereference the credentials struct without checking
if it is NULL. We can avoid this by just adding  a check

    if (ctxt->x509cred)
        gnutls_certificate_free_credentials(ctxt->x509cred);
