It makes hardly any sense to expose a symbol which should only be provided for binary compatibility, but it seems we don't have a lot of choice here. There are many autoconf scripts out there that try to create a binary that links against the old symbol to see whether uname(3) is present. These scripts fail to detect uname(3) now. It should be noted that the behaviour we implement is not against the standards: | The following shall be declared as a function and may also be defined | as a macro: | | int uname(struct utsname *);
