Yes, I believe it doesn't break API/ABI compatibility.  I'm using it
about four months on my RELENG_6 boxes.  However some applications
which test the existence of getXXX_r() are confused by the addition of
reentrant functions.


Well then you've introduced a compatibility regression in the stable
branch. Did you give this patch to the ports team to test first? If not, then you passed the problem on to them to try to correct, which is a bit anti-social. Also, what about people trying to compile software outside of the ports tree?
