 1. The locking implementation in this patch is broken.
 2. rtld malloc is not supposed to be called from multiple threads and
 needs to be protected by exclusive bind lock. If there are code
 sections that call malloc without exclusive lock held, rtld
 should be fixed to move them under lock protection.
