It costs almost nothing to maintain this function (and in fact they have to do it anyway for old binaries), so I do not see the point of hiding it from the linker at all. All it means is that the applications have to copy&paste the same boilerplate everywhere (and do it wrong, e.g., Martin Gansser's patch will trigger an – admittedly harmless – compiler warning due to partial structure initialization). Sure, the new API is better because it supports split seconds, but if you do not have any nanoseconds to pass to it, there is no benefit in setting up the structure in the caller instead of letting glibc do it. So I do not understand at all why glibc is now hiding this function from the compiler and the linker.
