Bug ID: 97485
Summary: std::call_once crashes at runtime on glibc if not
linked to libpthread:
Product: gcc
Version: 10.2.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: libstdc++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: slyfox at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
Initially bug was reported as a crash of llvm-tblgen tool:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/749162.
Small reproducer:
$ cat a.cc
#include <mutex>
static std::once_flag of;
static std::recursive_mutex * pm = nullptr;
int main() {
std::call_once(of, []() { pm = new std::recursive_mutex; });
}
$ g++-10.2.0 a.cc -o a -ggdb3 && ./a
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'
what(): Unknown error -1
Aborted (core dumped)
$ g++-10.2.0 a.cc -o a -pthread && ./a
All gcc versions are affected (at least 6.5.0 and above).
Backtrace:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8649828/what-are-the-correct-link-options-to-use-stdthread-in-gcc-under-linux
suggests -pthread has to be used.
Would it be feasible to convert this error as any of:
1. Link-time error that would complain about missing pthread_once symbol.
2. Successful run if libpthread is not present (probably not easy as libpthread
can be loaded dynamically at a later point in program's runtime).
