commit: http://git.uclibc.org/uClibc/commit/?id=23691332c8458adb469ad78051493ef0db434222
branch: http://git.uclibc.org/uClibc/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Static applications that call pthread_exit on the main thread segfault.
This is because after a thread terminates __uClibc_main decrements
__nptl_nthreads which is only defined in pthread_create.
Therefore the right solution is to add a requirement to pthread_create
from pthread_exit.
This patch has been backported from glibc tree:
