gmake[4]: *** [Makefile:18248: test-c-strtold] Error 1
The cause is that
- c-strtod.o needs rpl_newlocale, which pulls in localename-unsafe.o.
- localename-unsafe.o needs glthread_rwlock_*_multithreaded, which pulls in
lock.o, as well as pthread_mutex_lock, pthread_mutex_unlock (directly).
This patch fixes the link errors.
