Note: of course that's not a proper fix, and it will break if we let
_dl_dynamic_weak go back to 0.  On the long run, we should have stubs in
libc that properly call pthread functions if needed.  But the thing is
we have an easy way to have things working the same way as on the long
run from the point of view of applications.
