They are different issues. The relation is just a rhetoric way of
discarding that software as being relevant. :-)

pre-6.0 allowed libpthread to be loaded by dlopen(), which was very
unsafe as I understand. My idea to set LD_PRELOAD would revert
functionnality without the hazard tied to dlopen() of libpthread, since
it would be loaded at startup time.
