It does not happen with musl because musl does not use libgcc
unwinding functionality for pthread_cancel implementation.
If anyone want to hack on uClibc-ng, I would love to get the libgcc
dependency out. Old linuxthreads didn't use it, so this would
be a good starting point to look at :)

If you would allow to use glibc for static linking, which is
technically possible, you would see the same issue.
