See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2012-01/msg01427.html for the
previous discussion about the motivation for this patch and the choice
of __pthread_key_create (also the comment added in the code by this patch).

This had no effect on testsuite results on x86_64-linux-gnu 
(Ubuntu EGLIBC 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.10).


Thanks,
Roland

	* gthr-posix.h [neither FreeBSD nor Solaris] (__gthread_active_p):
	If __GLIBC__ is defined, refer to __pthread_key_create instead of
	pthread_cancel.

+/* For a program to be multi-threaded the only thing that it certainly must
+   be using is pthread_create.  However, there may be other libraries that
+   intercept pthread_create with their own definitions to wrap pthreads
+   functionality for some purpose.  In those cases, pthread_create being
+   defined might not necessarily mean that libpthread is actually linked
+   in.
+
+   For the GNU C library, we can use a known internal name.  This is always
+   available in the ABI, but no other library would define it.  That is
+   ideal, since any public pthread function might be intercepted just as
+   pthread_create might be.  __pthread_key_create is an "internal"
+   implementation symbol, but it is part of the public exported ABI.  Also,
+   it's among the symbols that the static libpthread.a always links in
+   whenever pthread_create is used, so there is no danger of a false
+   negative result in any statically-linked, multi-threaded program.
+
+   For others, we choose pthread_cancel as a function that seems unlikely
+   to be redefined by an interceptor library.  The bionic (Android) C
+   library does not provide pthread_cancel, so we do use pthread_create
+   there (and interceptor libraries lose).  */
