 * referenced (as an extern) from libc/stdlib/exit.c. This will always
 * create a need for this module, ensuring that it is present in the

 * We know that, if the user does _anything_ at all with threads, then the
 * "uthread_init.c" module will be linked in.  That is the case because
 * "uthread_init.c" is the module that defines all of the global variables
 * used by the threads library.  The presence of "uthread_init.c" will, in
 * turn, force this module to be linked in.  And the presence of this module
 * in the executable will result in the constructor being invoked, and
