     1.4 +Status: submitted similar patch 2004-12-08
     1.5 +
     1.6 +This patch cleans up the initialization of thread_db.  It works for static
     1.7 +binaries now.  The vsyscall patches hide this problem, since new static
     1.8 +binaries will load the vsyscall DSO and then trigger thread_db; but
     1.9 +this is still a good cleanup.
