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.
