__* in installed headers

[Ulrich Drepper]

Hi,

Does anybody see a reason why we shouldn't get rid of the __*
prototypes in the official headers?  The reason is that I found more
and more cases where people think they should use these functions
since they are documented.  Of course this will break now that these
functions are not exported anymore.  [And compiling will be faster
since fewer symbols have to be kept.]

The solution I have in mind is to move over the __* prototypes to the
headers in include/ and make sure we search while compiling glibc
always there first.

Comments?
