I'm hunting around for a list of entry points in both Linux & FreeBSD's
libc. I want to find out what linux libc entry points are not found within
the BSD libc, and what entry points that are common have different arguments
be they just different or things of the same name with different definitions.

This is so a shim library can be developed allowing the use of Linux libraries
liked into FreeBSD binaries. I am anticipating that perhaps the Linux
lib may have to be altered in some way (changing the name of an external
reference where it clashes with a FreeBSD libc call of the same name
with varying arguments, or mapping external variables onto their FreeBSD
equivalents). It'll make the use of certain recalcitrant third party libs
a bunch easier.
