  23 /* libpthread once had its own fork, though there was no apparent reason
  24    for it.  There is no use in having a separate symbol in libpthread, but
  25    the historical ABI requires it.  For static linking, there is no need to
  26    provide anything here--the libc version will be linked in.  For shared
  27    library ABI compatibility, there must be __fork and fork symbols in
  28    libpthread.so.
  29
  30    With an IFUNC resolver, it would be possible to avoid the
  31    indirection, but the IFUNC resolver might run before the
  32    __libc_fork symbol has been relocated, in which case the IFUNC
  33    resolver would not be able to provide the correct address.  */
