Subject: Problem with c++ and std::thread comparison

What happens when you try to call a weak symbol? Do you end up calling 0x000000.....00 depending on your arch?

I ask because I have C++ program that uses std::threads. These use pthreads internally. There were two places where I have problems. One was with condtiion variables and the other with comparsion of std::thread ids:

This changes seems to work, or does c++ not needs to check pthreads being equal?
