It is a limitation that comes from using ld --wrap option.
Unfortunately, we really have no other mean to achieve compliance with
the posix interface, especially since Xenomai posix library needs
symbols from the libc libpthread library.

In a near future, it will be possible to directly call xenomai posix
library services without using the --wrap trick. Only, you will have to
prefix them or postfix them. Actually, you can already do that by
calling directly __wrap_service instead of service.

Another way to solve your issue is to ship your library with a shell
script much like xeno-config which generates the correct flags. You can
probably do what we have not done for xenomai: use the pkg-config
package. This approach is used for many libraries nowadays.
