It "fixes" a static link time/configuration error by hiding it. The "do
not need it nor want it" is a clear indicator that they should not get
it at all.

And silently dying if something in the whole mess (obviously out of
controll already) manages to call pthread_create() makes it even worse.
A library should never call _exit()/abort() besides in rare
circumstances like a corrupted jmp_buf or stack protection detecting
stack corruption.
