* initialize a variable, "_thread_autoinit_dummy_decl". This variable is
* 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
