--- Comment #1 from Arjun Shankar <arjun.is at lostca dot se> ---
The review [1] of the patch I wrote for this revealed that no locking is
necessary at all because the entire routine is called via __libc_once. Given
this, the partial locking (when writing config to its data structures) during
__gconv_get_path should be thrown away.
