if the breakage is just in pthreads, i dont think the libc ABI needs to be
bumped, just the pthread one ? libc provides look ahead stub functions for
pthreads, so it shouldnt be affected by the breakage you've mentioned with
static lock initializers ...
libpthread.so.0 -> libpthread.so.1
While it's definetly Ubuntu and Debian's problem, not upstream's,
libpthread is bundled in the "libc6" package. Bumping just the
libpthread version will make packaging hard for those distros. If
there are other ABI breaking moves that need to be done that would
cause a bump from libc6, doing them now would help sidestep the
problem.
Tks.
