Another idea:  let libpthread be dlopen'ed, but abort if
pthread_create() is called after libc mutex or condvar stubs have been
called.

We would introduce a global __threadstubs, initialy set to 0, and set to
1 in stubs from src/lib/libc/thread-stub/thread-stub.c.

Then in pthread_create(), we just need:
        pthread__assert(__threadstubs == 0));
                
Opinions?
