Hi,

I have problems with pthread using applications crashing on
startup after this change (both on i386 and amd64). Am I the only one?

Simple "hello, world" compiled with -pthread:

Starting program: /tmp/test

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007f7ffd98ac4a in free () from /usr/lib/libc.so.12
(gdb) bt

Backing out the change makes things work again.

Kind regards,
