Isn't there a different public name for this? Policy is generally not
to reproduce symbols that begin with __ unless they are:
(1) part of a documented public API, like stdio_ext.h, or
(2) not used as an API, but part of the ABI that results from
compiling a program against glibc headers.
This is the same issue as __secure_getenv, and the glibc folks
themselves even have declared that it's not to be used and made a
replacement symbol for the public interface.
