I was testing it on different things, and stumbled on an interesting case:
when pthread_mutex was taken from the constructor of a different module.

In that case, the other constructor would try to init the mutex and take
a lock, but we would segfault because we haven't resolved the pthread
symbols yet ourselves (since our constructor was yet to be called).


Thanks,
