Looking closer there is a __libc_maybe_call2 that happens during a fork
that is called and libpthread is linked. The maybe call tries to see if
pthread_fork is available, if it doesn't see a valid symbol it just
calls ARCH_FORK(). This looks like a suspect. So do a number of the
#ifdef's in pthread.c
