I don't think we should take this out unconditionally, because it was added to address a (different) problem -- we were ending up with the pseudo-native libraries being used with host glibc that might be too old, and not have newer versions.

I was under the impression that glibc tried to maintain binary compatibility a fairly long way back; which hosts are omitting this symbol? What architecture are you on?
