Rich Felker 1c84c99913 add new stage 2b to dynamic linker bootstrap for thread pointer
commit a603a75a72 removed attribute
const from __errno_location and pthread_self, and the same reasoning
forced arch definitions of __pthread_self to use volatile asm,
significantly impacting code generation and imposing manual caching of
pointers where the impact might be noticable.

reorder the thread pointer setup and place it across a strong barrier
(symbolic function lookup) so that there is no assumed ordering
between the initialization and the accesses to the thread pointer in
stage 3.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
