 Problem is:
 
 [11:36am] 79>nm obj.amd64-x86_64/libcrypto.a | grep pthread_
                   U pthread_attr_destroy
                   U pthread_attr_init
                   U pthread_attr_setdetachstate
                   U pthread_create
                   U pthread_join
 
 That the new libcrypto needs pthread_create and we decided
 a long time ago not to provide a libc stub for pthread_create
 with the presumption that someone who calls pthread_create
 really needs threads, and can't use stubs.
 
 Best,
