RE: Is it a bug of PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP ?

["Hu, Boris" <boris hu intel com>]

I am really confused by __pthread_initialize_minimal() now.

# ld -M tst-mutex2 > a 
# grep "__pthread_initialize_minimal" a     // nothing ???
# ld -M tst-join1 > b
# grep "__pthread_initialize_minimal" b   
0x0000a920                __pthread_initialize_minimal
0x0000a920                __pthread_initialize_minimal_internal

I renamed __pthread_initialize_minimal() -->
__pthread_initialize_minimal2() in libc-start.c 
and do the same to /nptl/init.c. At the same time, I will
print out sth at the begining of __pthread_initialize_minimal2().
However, the tst-mutex2 will always segment fault without 
printing anything. [for the arm toolchain issue, I couldn't 
debug it with gdb now, so it is hard to get more details :( ] 
any hints? thanks. 

by the way, here both tst-mutex2 & tst-join1 are statically linked.
