The *only* time you put something in stubs.h is if an ANSI/POSIX
function in libc needs to call a non-ANSI/POSIX function in libc, in
which case the non-ANSI/POSIX function needs to be listed in stubs.h.
(or, for ansi functions calling posix-only functions).

There is no other reason why a function would get listed in stubs.

The "stubbed" name (__foo) is *not* part of the published API.
