What happened was that the weak aliases for glibc ABI compat were included, then broken configure scripts that checked only for symbol linkage but not for a working declaration "detected" these functions as usable, producing miscompiled code from lack of declartion. Since it was intended that musl-built programs never reference these ABI-compat-only symbols, it was "fixed" by adding the macros to redirect them to the correct functions, but this caused lots of problems and we're still trying to extricate the mess. If at some point the glibc ABI-compat stuff can be moved entirely to the external gcompat project, the macros will be removed entirely. As such, I think this patch is not appropriate for inclusion.
