flashpluginwrapper for Flash 6 (Shared Library Tools redux)

[Joe Kelsey]

Ok.  I hand-modified the linux-flashplugin6 shared library to remove all 
of the DT_NEEDED entries.  I then modified flashpluginwrapper to add the 
following functions:

void __assert_fail(const char *assertion, const char *file,
		   unsigned int line, const char *function)
{
   fprint (stderr, "%s:%d:%s: %s\n", file, line, function, assertion);
   abort ();
}

#include <ctype.h>

int __ctype_toupper(int c)
{
   return toupper (c);
}
unsigned short int __ctype_b[256];

#include <errno.h>
int *__errno_location(void)
{
   return __error ();
}

unsigned long int __strtoul_internal(const char *__nptr, char **__endptr,
				     int __base, int __group)
{
   return strtoul (__nptr, __endptr, __base);
}

void __terminate()
{
   fprintf (stderr, "terminate!\n");
}

ssize_t __write (int __fd, const void *__buf, size_t __size)
{
   return write (__fd, __buf, __size);
}

int __fxstat(int __ver, int __filedesc, struct stat *__stat_buf)
{
   return fstat (__filedesc, __stat_buf);
}

int __xstat(int __ver, const char *__filename, struct stat *__stat_buf)
{
   return stat (__filename, __stat_buf);
}

I installed this new version of flashpluginwrapper, installed the 
linux-flashplugin6 library in browser_plugins.  Now, the Flash 6 code 
segfaults in pthread_mutex_init(), called from

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Anyone familiar enough with Mozilla internals to understand why 
pthread_mutex_init segfaults?  Has Mozilla started its own threads by 
the time it loads the libraries?  I don't know where to look to track 
this down.  Maybe a difference between Linux and FreeBSD in the pthread 
semantics?
