The versions with the __ prefix are never intended to be accessed by
name; they're just there to get the padding right. If some programs do
use them, however, we might need to provide them... BTW this is all
stub code; musl does not use utmp.

That should be fixed. Since it's all stubs, I don't think ABI is a big
issue here.
