Before libc is initialized, there cannot be any threads except the current.
Same for libthr.

Since libthr uses internal allocator for things usually needed by mallocs,
including internal mutexes and thread keys, the only duty of third-party
malloc is to properly implement on-fork callbacks to ensure liveness after
forks.
