This idiom is completely wrong; it does not work with static linking.
Programs which are using this approach need to be fixed. We've also
run into it (much more heavily) with musl libc, where unlike in glibc,
the pthread .o files in libc.a are well-factored so that only the
code the program needs gets linked. The offender that comes to mind
right off is libxml2.
