This has an easy solution. One, get rid of setflags usage by reverting
the Makefiles somewhat. Two, remove setflags from the headers. Three,
make libc have an _XXX_setflags and __weak_reference() it to setflags.
This won't break anyone, or make apps not be able to use [gs]etflags.
Of course, this would all be done at the same time :)
