It's a little sluggish, but I think generally acceptable for the

With version 0.1.12, this issue should no longer hold up development of

It appears that the problem here is caused by dso_handle.os being
omitted from the reduced libc. This leaves __dso_handle as an undefined

this symbol will always be available and elides the check for its
existence in thread_atf
