Summary:                    libc_pthread_init() causes segfault
Description: 
Initializing programs that link to libpthread segfault. Simple "Hello
World" program segfaults when linked against libpthread, yet runs fine
without.  Attached pthread_test.c won't run.

Please, specify which libpthread implementation you are using
(old or new linuxthreads) ?

Linking to libpthread causes segfaults using NPTL and linuxthreads (new),
but no problems using linuxthreads (old).

There is not NPTL implementation for x86, so how can you link against it ?
it doesn't make sense.
Trying using a freshen version to see if the fix in linuxthreads suggested
by Will (that I applied) works or not.

I grabbed a buildroot snapshot from 2008-04-25 and rebuilt everything using
my oritional .config (uClibc-0.9.29, NPTL/linuxthreads,gcc-4.2.1,
binutils-2.18) and my pthread_test.c compiles and runs ok now.  I need to
re-verify the versions used, but the problem seems to be fixed.

BTW, for my x86 target, I "chose" NPTL in the menuconfig, but it seems
that that linuxthreads is actually used (a little misleading).  Sorry for
the confusion.
