Comment:
libroot's pthread_self() implementation cannot return NULL. I've also
verified that this is the case for the disassembled gcc4 code. My guess is
that some library (some of glib libs?) also exports a pthread_self(). That
would also explain why pre-loading libroot.so or anything that links
against it fixes the issue, since that puts libroot.so earlier in the
global shared object list, so that its pthread_self() is found when the
symbol is search.
Note that whatever library is responsible might rely on weak symbols being
supported, which is not the case for Haiku yet. Maybe the library is just
not configured correctly.
