add some notes (thanks to mjn3) as to why we need these weaks, remove all the weaks that we arent actually using atm, and in general touchup the code

 /* Weaks for application/library use.

+ * libpthread.so.  When an application doesn't use pthreads support,
+ * the locking functions used by libc itself basically become no-ops.
+ * However, if the application uses pthreads, then it will pull in
+ * libpthread.so whose symbols will override these weaks magically
+ * turning the internal libc mutex calls from no-ops to real locking
+ * calls.
