Log:
   Still provide freebsd10_* symbols from libc for COMPAT10.
r296773 was done to only remove libc symbols for <7. We want to provide
   the syscall symbols going forward for 7+.
In particular, binaries from FreeBSD versions older than 7 do not link
against libc.so.7.  However, we want compat system call symbols in libc.so.7
for COMPAT_FREEBSD7 and later in case a shim is needed to implement an
older version of a libc symbol via symver_compat().

personally I'd rather we drove a stake through the heart of symbol versioning and
went back to how it was, when one could work out what was going on.
I certainly miss the ability to get the openssl package to overwrite the base one,
which I'm told is no longer possible due to versioning.
