While this seems acceptable for now, in the long term this seems like
a problem. As someone else pointed out, this will prevent Mono from
being embeddable inside any pre-built applications.
Can someone elaborate more about what causes this problem, and what we
might do about it in the future? For example:
Why does libgc need to override pthread functions?
What is the problem with having some code talk directly to pthreads,
and some code talk to libgc's pthread overrides?
