As the functions are only renamed, we could use (weak) aliases here to
still provide the old function names if some caller requires them.
Would you prefer that?

We'd still be violating the glibc standards somewhat, but the
probability for an actual symbol name clash is very low, so I guess it
would be acceptable to do this in the name of backward compatibility.
