Pulled the MySQL 5.5.15 source code and these functions are still in the source.

Application fails to link.

What package are you talking about?

I believe Curtis is referring to undocumented exports in libmysqlclient.

An nm -D on the latest versions (both mysql and mariadb) show those two symbols are now exported.

This bug should be closed as fixed by upstream in newer versions.

I confirmed both symbols are now exported for mariadb-5.5.30 and mysql-5.5.30.
