Ah, dlopen(). Ok, that does indeed explain the problems that everyone is
seeing. However, my memory warns me about dlopen()ing libpthread and random
google results say that it doesn't work too well, e.g. 
https://freetz.org/ticket/819 and
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16628.

However, only on Linux is this actually an issue with the patch that should be
reverted. On other patches, other things will break.

Since you seem to be trying to fix this in pthread-stubs (thanks for those
patches!), I'll stop complaining about dlopen()ing libpthreads now.
