With the caveat that GLIBC_PRIVATE interface changes on a release branch
are dangerous, because they can affect upgrades on live systems (if a
running process started with old glibc, then there was an upgrade, then
the running process dlopens a library from the new glibc that depends on a
change to a GLIBC_PRIVATE interface provided by libc - see the issues when
some distributions tried to backport the CVE-2014-9761 fix).
