user binary is not supposed to have reference to this symbol,
it's musl internal (now hidden, previously visible)

it can be argued that the symbol is part of the glibc abi
compat since glibc exports it, but even on glibc i'm not
sure how you would end up with such symbol reference
(glibc headers don't refer to it).
