See the discussion of deprecation starting with <https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2021-May/126356.html> (C2X has also deprecated those functions). The comments in that thread supported marking the functions deprecated, but it needs someone to send a patch and I don't know what breakage might result in applications using those functions. -- Joseph S.
