I applied the second part.  But the __libc_freeres change is not OK.
2.1.3 was the first release where the function was exported.
Therefore the version name has to be GLIBC_2.1.3.  This is not
versioning is for since now GLIBC_2.1.3 is used as the most recent
versions in all binaries which use __libc_freeres and ld.so will
immediately stop if you run this program with a libc before 2.1.3.
