Currently we have the four required by POSIX: getc_unlocked, 
getchar_unlocked, putc_unlocked, and putchar_unlocked.  A little while 
ago I was working on the others which are available in Linux, as gcc 
will use them if available, but they didn't seem to make much difference 
to gcc's performance.  I still have that work locally, so if these would 
be useful, I could try to finish them up.
