+Suggested by Jake Page <jake at cs dot stanford dot edu>
+in http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/2004-07/msg00169.html
+but the libc-symbols.h fragment has been reworked to fix typos
+and to still work on gcc-2.95.3, which lacks _Pragma.
+
+His comment was:
+ Fixes gcc-3.4 optimizing out comparisons to weak external symbols in code
+ like:
+  if (__pthread_mutex_init != NULL)
+    __pthread_mutex_init(...);
+ that causes segfaults during libc init when not linked to libpthread
