If you are talking about __clear_cache(), it is defined in libgcc, not
glibc.  This should also be available on FreeBSD, though I can only find
the required libgcc2.h header in the gcc source directory...

The function is at least available on FreeBSD/i386-CURRENT:

$ readelf -a /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 | grep __clear_cache
    51: 000046b0     5 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   11 __clear_cache@@GCC_3.0
