Had a look at this patch and I think it is good. This should done to almost all
exported functions in uClibc.

Doing so, a program can define its own version of said function if it wants to.
Also, by "hiding"(not in place yet) the internal variant(__libc_xx) you will
remove the relocation of these functions within libc, making the lib
smaller and faster.
