Remove them. FBSDprivate_1.0 is private and is guaranteed to be
ABI-unstable.

There is nothing to do to prevent linking against these symbols. If
somebody decides to check if she inadvertently did that, it is enough to
see if the FBSDprivate_1.0 namespace is referenced by the linked object,
e.g. by 'readelf -V object' and see versions needed.
