Given that we're already patching specific to Debian for Hurd portability,
I think it's reasonable to add additional weak pragmas for the Hurd if you
can provide a patch that only does this on Hurd (I don't know which
pragmas are needed).  However, I don't think it's the right long-term
solution for applications to have to know about this sort of internal
implementation detail, so ideally I think it should be fixed in libpthread
in the long term.
