Is this because (a) we now want to discourage __secure_getenv so we 
remove it from include/stdlib.h and (b) we want to still use 
__secure_getenv for inter-library calls?

So do we need a third name for the symbol and use that for 
inter-library calls e.g. __internal_secure_getenv?

Cheers,
Carlos.
