This is a serious violation of glibc's stated promise of infinite
backwards compatibility. How in the world did this slip through? Can
we use our gating system to kick back builds that are obviously broken
that even the package manager stops working?

Also, I'm surprised that reinstating symbols needs any discussion at
all. The removals obviously have to be reverted, per their own
infinite backwards compatibility promise.
