They're going to be implementations of APIs called from user source code
if/when it defines _TIME_BITS equal to 64 (that'll be the last patch in
the whole series), so I don't understand how they could be considered
GLIBC_PRIVATE.

As for the side effects, which ones are you thinking of? The ones I am
aware of are those already present in the 32-bit-time versions and are
"regrettable but established behavior".
