[Bug 40285] Re: libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work

[Stefan Hageneder]

i am using vsftpd together with pam_mysql and i see the same error in my
ftp client.

anonymous login to vsftpd works, so the problem must be with libpammysql.
any idea how to fix this?

Title:
  libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work

Status in “gcc-3.3” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gcc-4.4” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “pound” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  the error:

   libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work

  is printed by applications using pthreads and calling:

  set the thread to check or cancel:
  thread_setcancelstate (PTHREAD_CANCEL_ENABLE, NULL);
          pthread_setcanceltype (PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED, NULL);

  and then in a tight loop try to lock a mutex and call test cancel like:
  while (pthread_mutex_trylock (&progress_lock) ==
                                 EBUSY)
                                  pthread_testcancel ();

  if the thread is exited because the parent thread sent a pthread_exit
  (NULL); for instance, you will see that error.

  gcc thinks that this file is in:
  $> gcc --print-file-name=libgcc_s.so.1
  /lib/../lib/libgcc_s.so.1

  and not /lib/libgcc_s.so.1. though the path should really point to the
  same file in the end.

  This error is fixed by adding /lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and running
  ldconfig
