If you are using libthr or libc_r with symbol versioning, then
I don't think it will work correctly without rebuilding world
and all ports.  As an interim solution for testing symbol versioning
without require rebuilding everything under the sun, I added
compatability hacks for symbols in libc that also exist in
libpthread.  See lines 62-95 in src/lib/libpthread/thr/thr_private.h.
This hack should be disabled and removed after bumping shared
libraries and enabling symbol versioning.
