Hmmm, is this really the best fix?

I really want pthread_once() to always work (see the hack I have to do with 
_once() in libc to workaround the fact that it doesn't now).  The current 
behavior exists to appease libstdc++ which uses a silently failing 
pthread_once() to figure out if it is linked against working threads.

If this is for libc++, can you provide some other way than abusing 
pthread_once() to determine this?  Ideally it would be as smart as libc and 
use __isthreaded in some fastion.
