We have users in GCC and LLVM already, and both projects have many downstream
forks.  This means that it's going to be difficult to adjust all users as part
of a system glibc update.

GLIBC_PRIVATE is internal to glibc.  Please do not depend on these symbols. 
They can change or go away at any time.  For example, the prototype of
__libc_res_nsearch changed during a security update.
