No.  These interfaces are internal to libgcc and should not be
restricted.  The proper fix is to stop exporting these functions from
glibc.  There's no reason to do that.  Really, there's no reason for
them to be in glibc at all, but at the very least they should be
hidden.

I don't suppose there's any way to suppress them in currently
installed glibcs?
