that's not physically possible. :-)  seriously, this whole experiment
has been to see if i can build a toolchain with the absolute latest
snapshots of the GNU software, to identify what has to change in the
build process under those circumstances.

aside:  that nptl patch above did indeed fix the "cleanup" error.  yee
ha.  now i can see how much further i can get.

p.s.  given that i'm still unclear on the various thread-related
configure options, i'm still looking for what to say to make sure that
the installation of the glibc headers installs "pthread.h" along with
everything else.
