So don't.  The argument would be the same for almost every existing
instance of tokenize(), right?  Do it this way (no 3.1.5 source code
handy, pardon the psuedo-code):

static void
full_tokenize(char *s, int extra_arg)	/* choose more appropriate name */
{
   /* combined guts of tokenize() and ctokenize() here */
}

/**/
void
tokenize(char *s)
{
   full_tokenize(s, something);
}

/**/
void
ctokenize(char *s)
{
   full_tokenize(s, otherthing);
}

Then change only the calls that actually need the new argument, to
call the new full_tokenize() function.
