It looks like it.

See the code for it: it removes the structure corresponding to the
thread from the list, but only if it finds it, so calling a second time
simply does nothing.

Yes, except that I see a danger: what if a signal is sent to the
thread around the time it is calling pthread_exit()? I don't
remember the details, but I guess if that happens after the call to
_hurd_sigstate_delete(), the sigstate will be reallocated and thus
leaked (or some other bad such thing).

Which problem?
