a fine question. as best as i can tell, no. the previously mentioned
example libraries (dtrace and zfs) don't have entries here. Also, i've
done a full nightly on both sparc and x86 with the -A flag enabled
(which runs intf_check, which seems to be the only consumer of the file
above) and that hasn't generated any errors. then just to be extra sure
i did a full sparc/x86 nightly without my changes and compared the
output from intf_check to make sure it isn't changing.

i'll update this.

hm. looking further at the exceptions file, i don't think it's looking
for links to libraries with only private interfaces. it seems to be
more concerned with detecting interface versioning errors introduced by
changes in scope or version number of exisiting interfaces.
i don't really thing there's anything that needs to be done here for my
changes.
