LinuxThreads port

>Description:

Attemping to statically link causes problems with functions like localtime,
gtime, and so on. Problem is that the symbols size has changed, causing
fatal linker errors:

/usr/lib/libc.a(localtime.o): In function ctime':
localtime.o(.text+0x160c): multiple definition of ctime'
/usr/local/lib/liblthread.a(libc_calls.o)(.text+0x60):/usr/ports/devel/
 linuxthreads/work/linuxthreads-2.1.3_2/libc_calls.c:
first defined here
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: Warning: size of symbol ctime' changed from 93 to 28 in
localtime.o
/usr/lib/libc.a(localtime.o): In function localtime':
localtime.o(.text+0x11cc): multiple definition of localtime'
/usr/local/lib/liblthread.a(libc_calls.o)(.text+0xc0):/usr/ports/devel/
 linuxthreads/work/linuxthreads-2.1.3_2/libc_calls.c:
first defined here
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: Warning: size of symbol localtime' changed from 93 to
41 in localtime.o
/usr/lib/libc.a(localtime.o): In function gmtime':

/usr/local/lib/liblthread.a(libc_calls.o)(.text+0x120):/usr/ports/devel/
 linuxthreads/work/linuxthreads-2.1.3_2/libc_calls.c:
first defined here
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: Warning: size of symbol gmtime' changed from 93 to 31
in localtime.o
/usr/lib/libc.a(asctime.o): In function asctime':
asctime.o(.text+0x0): multiple definition of asctime'
/usr/local/lib/liblthread.a(libc_calls.o)(.text+0x0):/usr/ports/devel/
 linuxthreads/work/linuxthreads-2.1.3_2/libc_calls.c:
first defined here
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: Warning: size of symbol asctime' changed from 93 to 24
in asctime.o

>How-To-Repeat:

Unfortunately, I'm not sure exactly what combination of circumstances
triggers this problem. I'm working on the simplest possible code that
triggers this. Perhaps something in my code grabs a header file that manages
to pull in the wrong prototypes for these functions? I'm not really sure.

>Fix:

I'm not sure what the right fix is. Removing the code for 'ctime' 'asctime'
'gmtime', and 'localtime' from the LinuxThreads port works. Well-behaved
multithreaded programs don't call these functions anyway.
