To sum it up in a less detailed way: I couldn't find a solution
that wouldn't require us to keep a patch in glibc until we rebuild
every thread-safe library when libpthread eventually gets integrated
into glibc.  The alternatives I found, however, is on the kind
of patch: either we just patch the Versions file, or we build a
libpthread_stubs.so, or we build a libpthread_stubs.a.
