Actually its pretty easy to break libc. Someone calls flockfile() which in
turn calls _pthread_mutex_lock(). This ends up in libc_r which notices
that the mutex is uninitialised and calls init_static(). That calls
pthread_mutex_init() and dies shortly afterwards (note the non-_pthread
call from init_static()).

Ok then. Next attempt. This one defines weak pthread_foo stubs which call
_pthread_foo. It also defines weak _pthread_foo stubs which are noops. All
symbols weak. Everyone happy. Actually, I haven't tested this since my
test system is at home. For kicks, I also staticised the stubs.
