It's not declared by any header under the install tree in the default configuration. It can be called from code generated by the compiler, but it cannot be used by usual applications.

I've created additional report of changes in the private ABI: http://upstream-tracker.org/downloads/glibc/linux/x86_64/compat_reports/2.17_to_2.18/private_libc_ABI.html

This report lists your symbol and changes in other private symbols.
