Hello,
This is (revived and rebased) version of the libdw memory manager that
isn't affected by the PTHREAD_KEYS_MAX limit. There are some downsides,
in particular if an application spawns many short-lived threads that
all touch a Dwarf (enough to cause an allocation), there's about ~8N
bytes of memory overhead.
The first patch is not required and adds some configure-time options
for Valgrind annotation support (although, I'm not a serious autotools
user, so it might need some work).
