[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] c11/threads: resolve link issues with -O0

[Emil Velikov]

From: Emil Velikov <emil.velikov at collabora.com>

Add weak symbol notation for the pthread_mutexattr* symbols, thus making
the linker happy. When building with -O1 or greater the optimiser will
kick in and remove the said functions as they are dead/unreachable code.

Ideally we'll enable the optimisations locally, yet that does not seem
to work atm.

Building with -Wall -Wextra -pedantic and it does not cause any
additional warnings/errors.

+ * symbols are unresolved.

+ * Ideally we'll enable the optimisations locally, yet that does not
+ * seem to work.
+ *
+ * So the alternative workaround is to annotate the symbols as weak.
+ * Thus the linker will be happy and things don't clash when building
+ * with -O1 or greater.
