Unfortunately, that's not going to scale well if we must do that for
each and every application that needs it (there are a few of them).

An ugly but more scalable hack would be to change the fixup phase so
that for each binary it does:

  if objdump -T $bin | grep pthread_cancel
  then
      patchelf $bin ...
  fi

There's something strange though.  Other binaries that use
pthread_cancel(3), such as `libstdc++.so', `lzma', and `ed2k', have
`libgcc_s.so' marked as NEEDED.

Thanks,
Ludo'.
