The nss_db package, for example.
libio.h uses some glibc internal things like attribute hidden, if
_LIBC is defined, but without _LIBC defined, bits/libc-lock.h use
useless.

Than do it for all or for nothing. If you currently wish to use
libc-lock.h, you need to define _LIBC, but if you do this, you
cannot include something, which includes libio.h, afterwards.

The current bits/libc-lock.h behavior is inconsistent.
