This ones again is against common sense in software engineering. It's
horrible to use the same soname for such a derived library. Anyway,
you can certainly imitate the interfaces, what stops you.
Stop trying to make derivations from glibc. Make it privately, I
don't care. But it's wrong to increase the complexity of the code
and the debugging process even more.
