Created attachment 169434 [details] A patch to reverse symbol lookup bias. If RTLD finds a weak symbol in both its own object and another library, it will give its own symbol preference. This can cause problems with the weak pthread stubs defined in libc being used over those in libthr. I'm not sure if this is expected behavior, but it makes more sense to me to reverse this bias.
