The routines were added solely for compatibility with ICC. ;-(
Unfortunately, libunwind.so.6 as shipped with ICC exports those
routines so in order to use my libunwind as a replacement, we have to
export those routines, too.  I don't see off-hand what's wrong.  AFAICS,
the implementations should be compatible.

Do you know why there was an endless loop?
