We can do that for things in the distribution, true, but I still think 
it's annoying that if an application defines a getentropy symbol, 
cryptographic libraries such as OpenSSL could begin to behave in a 
slightly different way.

I can drop the mangling for now if that's the general consensus, but I 
don't like how I'm pressured into making a change which I consider 
unnecessarily risky.
