+Subject: [PATCH] fix gthr weak refs for libgcc
+
+ideally gthr-posix.h should be fixed not to use weak refs for
+single thread detection by default since that's unsafe.
+
+currently we have to opt out explicitly from the unsafe behaviour
+in the configure machinery of each target lib that uses gthr and
+musl missed libgcc previously.
