Adding the Provides: "works", but is likely going to cause pain if/when
you distribute your package.

rpmbuild filters GLIBC_PRIVATE Provides: because "You're not supposed to
use GLIBC_PRIVATE symbols."

There's a macro to disable the Provides: filtering; see either the  
glibc.spec
file, or examine rpm sources. I'll leave the exercise to you, because  
you
really ought not to use GLIBC_PRIVATE symbols.
