libpthread/nptl: bugfix malloc segfault in race conditions.
In libc/sysdeps/linux/common/bits/uClibc_pthread.h:
extern void weak_function _pthread_cleanup_push_defer(...)
This *weak_function* declaration will cause nptl/cleanup_defer_compat.c:
strong_alias (...) !!!FAIL!!!, because it include pthreadP.h->pthread.h
->uClibc_pthread.h
That means:
Readelf -s libpthread/nptl/cleanup_defer_compat.o you will get:
18: 00000000 198 FUNC WEAK DEFAULT 1 _pthread_cleanup_push_def
Readelf -s libc/misc/internals/__uClibc_main.o you will also get:
32: 00000038 58 FUNC WEAK DEFAULT 1 _pthread_cleanup_push_def
Final: gcc malloc_pthread_test.c -lpthread
The libc/stdlib/malloc-standard/malloc.c:839 (__MALLOC_LOCK->
_pthread_cleanup_push_def) will use the one in __uClibc_main.o
!!!not in cleanup_defer_compat.o!!!, becasue two cleanup_defer_compat in
libc.a with the same weak declarations and the __uClibc_main.o is close
to front.
====
All of malloc/free will failed in muti-threads' race conditions
probabilistic.
As it happens, uClibc-0.9.33.2 is OK, Becasue:
It's seperated in libpthread.a and libc.a, and the libc.a is the
last lib for ld internal-cmd, and malloc will get right cleanup_defer_compat
from libpthread.a.
This BUG is from 2016-09-24 to now:

use a single libc and deduplicate threading code
Similar to musl libc a single libc has many benefits and solves
some open issues with uClibc-ng.
- no pthread_mutex_* weak symbols exported anymore
- applications no longer failing to link when either
-lrt or -lpthread are missing for dynamic and static linking mode
- smaller C library
- slightly better runtime performance

Perharps we need carefully check all of the impact about that commit.
