If that's the case, then why are you working on the sysroot linkage 
model? 8-)

Ben, you could patch glibc to remove the functions from the installed 
header files, and turn them into compat symbols.  Then application 
configure checks will not be able to see this functions, but your glibc 
will still be ABI-compatible with any glibc of the same version.

If that's too much work, you need to build an older glibc instead.

Thanks,
Florian
