RFC: Use secondary pthread functions in glibc

Hi,

I created hjl/pthread glibc branch to use STB_SECONDARY for
pthread functions. libc contains secondary pthread functions which are
pre-empted by libpthread.a at link-time or libpthread.so at run-time.
This should address issues of static linking with libpthread.a:

The current hjl/secondary binutils branch from

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/hjl/binutils.git;a=summary

is needed to properly build glibc.

Any comments?

Thanks.
