Ugh, indeed.  We can drop the cast and add the required parameters if it
ever becomes an issue.  Here's what I've just installed.


link pthread_join from std::thread ctor

Like pthread_create, pthread_join may fail to be statically linked in
absent strong uses, so add to user code strong references to both when
std::thread objects are created.

        * include/bits/std_thread.h (thread::_M_thread_deps): New
        static implicitly-inline member function.
        (std::thread template ctor): Pass it to _M_start_thread.
        * src/c++11/thread.cc (thread::_M_start_thread): Name depend
        parameter, force it live on entry.
