Have you tried to build a FreeBSD binary when both lots of symbols are
provided? If it links properly then I can't think of any reason we
couldn't provide both. The compiler-rt versions are hidden so shouldn't
be exposed.

I have done the same with the ARM EABI support as compiler-rt provides
the required __aeabi_* symbols. This will mean with it's support the
libc versions are unneeded.
