What this comes down to is that we've grown a distruct of libc_r,
and we think that the things that are pulling the threads in have
no business running threads, or forcing your program to link threaded
when it's not using threads.

The problem is that they *are* using threads, if they are using a
library that uses threads.

In the Western U.S., we'd say "Cowboy Up, and eat the overhead!".
If there are going to be libraries which, by their nature, suck
threads in, then we are just going to have to live with it.
