Threads is completely another issue. We can do ANY tricks threads needs
when it is NOT affects normal linking (under "normal" I mean preventing
standard namespace replacement from outside of libc). If current
replacement way for threads not allows preventing, it should be changed
somehow to be truely libc internal, i.e. not explotable from outside of
libc/libc_r/other threads libs.
